Unable to test RLS with guest user
Well, I stumbled upon the solution. The UI doesn't display the AAD list of names but if one simply tabs to the next field, the Apply button becomes active. DOH! At this point, I was able to test using impersonation. I suppose it would be more obvious if the Apply button became active as soon as one starts typing in the Select Person field.
Hi rl_evans,
You can do Test as a role first. Then uncheck the box and enter the user account that you want to test.

I think you missed the point which is that the guest user account doesn't show up in the "select person". You can type in the guest user but the Apply button stays grayed out because the guest user isn't recognized as a member of your AAD. Notice that in your example you entered Admin2 but also notice that the Apply button is gray as Admin2 isn't recognized.
Hi rl_evans,
I had tested it successfully before I gave the advice to you. You need to add the guest user first. Please refer to this document.

Guest user access if fully working for us except for being able to test via impersonation on powerbi.com service.
Here is were we enter the guest user's account into the role. Notice that the account shows up in the AAD list of users for selection.
The guest user is added to the role.
However, when trying to impersonate the guest user, it doesn't show up in the AAD list (notice that the drop down list doesn't appear).
Even if I just type in the full guest user name, the Apply button remains grayed out.
