Tenant vs Guest User. Any difference when using Fabric ?

[alfBI]

Hi everyone,

In the incoming months we will start a project to develop some Fabric items with an external company (Company XXXX). In order to allow developers to create these artifacts (notebooks, warehouses, pipelines)  we will prepare a workspace with an associated F64 SKU capacity and we will grant admin rights to their users on that workspace.

With regards the users they will need to access our Fabric tenant we have 2 options

- To add consultant company accounts (e.g: consultant@companyXXXX.com) into our tenant as guest users

- Create accounts on the tenant for these consultants

My question is: In terms of creating Fabric items there is any difference/limitation about the nature of the user (guest vs tenant)? Does it exist a "better" option technically speaking?

Regards,

Hi @alfBI Guest Users may face cross-tenant restrictions or limited access based on Azure AD policies, impacting their ability to create Fabric items fully.
Tenant Accounts provide seamless access with no restrictions, ensuring full functionality for developing artifacts.

Tenant accounts are technically better, if guest accounts are preferred, ensure your Azure AD policies and Fabric configurations allow sufficient access for them to perform their tasks.
If this psot helped please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution
Thanks In Advance
