Hello
I am new to the forum and apologize in advance if this question has been asked before. But we are experiencing an issue with external guest users unable to comment on Power BI reports. I'll outline our situation.
Currently, we use workspaces to develop reports and then allow external user access to the resulting app. The external users are not provided access to the workspace directly. We have recently discovered that our external users are unable to enter comments as normal in the service which we would like to use for collaboration.
My understanding is that external users are unable to do this because we have the "Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization" disabled in our tenant for our organization. My concern over turning this on is that we then expose more than we want with clients. We only want external users to have access to the resulting app.
So here are my questions:
Again, we basically want external users to have access to apps and be able to comment on reports, but ahve no additional access.
Thank you in advance for your comments and support.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Yes. You could turn it on to make external users use comments.
No. The permissions of app are just aim to app users. They don't affect the users who have access of workspace. You could disable the options like below. (Reference: Allow users to connect to datasets ).
For existing app users, permissions on the underlying datasets don't change. You can remove Build permission manually from app users who should no longer have it. Read more about the Build permission.
