Power BI connection to dataset of other organisation

[Anonymous]

Scenario.

1. Organisation A is my Organisation with Premium PowerBI licence (e.g. as - abc@orga.com)

2. Organisation B is our Vendor with PowerBI licence (e.g. xyz@orgb.com)

Question - For creating PowerBI reports in Organisation A is it possible to connect to PowerBI dataset of Organisation B.

Note - Both organisations are separate entities with different PowerBI licenses, and Organisation B would not give its DB / DW access to Organisation A.

Please advise.

No. Power BI is a "per tenant" access model. If you tried to connect to a shared data set in company a then logged off and back on to Power BI desktop with company B data, it would just disconnect. 

In your instance, Org b would need to create an embedded instance of Power BI and publish a report they could allow you to see. That is the current B to B model for Power BI.

@edhans - Thanks for the qucik response. I understand the Power BI B-2-B model.
