Sharing a dashboard with external user error: Failed to send email to invite users . . .

[PhilGrove]

The ability to share a dashboard with someone in a different O365 tenet is no longer working.  It has been working for months and now throws an error message "Failed to send email to invite users . . ."

Looking around, this appears to be a known issue that was supposed to have an update yesterday 1/18.  I lost that message and link and couldn't find it again.  There was no apparent update on 1/18.

I do publish with the January 2018 desktop Power BI application under a PRO license.  I need to add the next wave of users.

Please help.

Hi @PhilGrove,

In your scenario, do all users can't share a dashboard with external users or some specific users?

Please contact Power BI admin if Share content with external users is enabled. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal#tenant-settings

I have verified with our Admin that the Share Content with External Users is enabled and has been enabled.

Perhaps I should open a ticket.  Thoughts?
