does power bi support getting data sources from multiple tenants?

Hi, as i progress thru the documentation i'm starting to wonder what would it be like if a corp had multiple tenants with permission for tenant a to read tenant b's data or even a scenario where a user is listed in aad as a guest but that user also has access to another tenant environment..

Hey @db042190 ,

This is on of those "depends" answers.  If you have a connection (gateway or otherwise) that allows you to get to the data in another tenant then yes.  If you have the appropriate network/firewall / port settings then yes.  If you have enabled the "external" users, then yes (because I believe if you have two tenants you would have two sets of userid's - one for the domain of each tenant).

And, if you have the appropriate permissions as a user in the "external" tenant then yes.  Again - permissions level being important.

In my mind, this is really just like any external user setup so you may want to research all of the requirements for external users to access a tenant.
