Hi @nj17 ,

Power BI enables sharing content with external guest users through Azure Active Directory Business-to-Business (Azure AD B2B). By using Azure AD B2B, your organization enables and governs sharing with external users in a central place.

You can invite guest users by planned invites or ad hoc invites. About how to invite guest users, please follow the steps in the documentation: Distribute content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Please note: Ad hoc invites aren't supported in the workspace access list. Use the planned invites approach to add these users to your organization. After the external user becomes a guest in your organization, add them to the workspace access list.

Best regards,

You need to go into your tennant settings and enable guest access and guest invites. It should then work.

External users need to be invited as guests to your azure tennant.

Personally I prefer to enable guest access but then invite guests via the azure portal.
