We are trying to share a report with external users. Our infrastructure team have developed a script that adds the external users we wish to share the report with to Azure Active Directory and puts them in an office 365 unified group. This script runs on a schedule and adds/deletes users as necessary.
We have successfully used this group in an Azure Analysis Services role and we were also hoping to be able to share the report with this group (instead of adding/deleting them individually as needed). When I enter the email address of the group in the "Grant access to" box under "Share" it appears to accept it and I get the "Success! Your report has been shared successfully" confirmation. However, when I check the access list the group is not listed (and the users do not have access to the report).
Any ideas on why this isn't working? It must be to do with the sort of group as we have successfully shared reports with internal users via internal AD on premise mail enabled security groups, but our infrastructure team has advised that we can't add external users to those.
The set up of the user groups is not something I know a lot about but I hope this is enough information for those familiar with this area. I can ask our Infrastructure team for further information if not.
Thanks
