Direct link to "Shared with me" doesn't work

[amlucius]

Our organization set a link to https://app.powerbigov.us/sharedwithme on the office's internal homepage. When users click the link, it goes to this page initially (even after log-in), but then immediately bounces to their personal workspace. I notice this issue doesn't happen with other direct links, like recentely viewed, but I need "Shared with me."

Is there a workaround? Can this be fixed?

Hi @amlucius,

It seems that your scenario is for Power BI US Government.

Found a workaround: create a dashboard and share it with the office/group/organization who will use the direct link. Direct linking to "Shared with me" will now work for all these users. You can do this from your personal workspace or an app workspace. If "Shared with me" is their main access point, they'll likely never see this dashboard.

It would be nice if Microsoft fixed this.

Thanks for the reply. To better inform support, would you mind testing for me if this issue also occurs in the commerical service? That is, can you try direct linking to "Shared with me" and tell me if it places you on that landing page, or if it forces you elsewhere?

Hi @amlucius,

By my tests in my site, if I copy the direct linking to "Shared with me" and paste it in InPrivate window or the browser I have not signed in , it will redirect to the sign in page.

If I have signed in Power BI account and open the direct link, it will show the Shared with me page.

Thanks, Cherry. To be clear, my experience is that "shared with me" opens after the log-in screen (i.e., Power BI uses the original direct link whether log-in happens or not) but something causes an immediate redirection out of "shared with me" to the workspace. This happens whether I'm logged in or not.
