Publish App - If I don't select "Install this app automatically" how do users find the app?

[omacoder]

I have published an app and published it to specific individuals or groups.

I did NOT check the "Install this app automatically".

One of the users logged in to app.powerbi.com and when they go to Apps, Get Apps, they don't see the app. They try to search for it in All Apps, and they cannot find the app.

This is a guest user who was invited to join the tenant so they can view our reports.

Hi, @omacoder 

Here are some limitations for guest users. It is said that Guest users can't install apps publish to the entire organization.

• • Direct publishing from Power BI desktop to the Power BI service
  • Guest users can't use Power BI desktop to connect to service datasets in the Power BI service
  • Classic workspaces tied to Office 365 Groups:
    • Guest user can't create or be Admins of these workspaces
    • Guest users can be members
  • Sending ad hoc invites isn't supported for workspace access lists
  • Power BI Publisher for Excel isn't supported for guest users
  • Guest users can't install a Power BI Gateway and connect it to your organization
  • Guest users can't install apps publish to the entire organization
  • Guest users can't use, create, update, or install organizational content packs
  • Guest users can't use Analyze in Excel
  • Guest users can't be @mentioned in commenting
  • Guest users can't use subscriptions
  • Guest users who use this capability should have a work or school account.

• Guest users using Personal accounts will experience more limitations due to sign-in restrictions.

  • They can use consumption experiences in the Power BI service through a web browser
  • They can't use the Power BI Mobile apps.
  • They won't be able to sign-in to provide credentials where a work or school account is required.

The app is not published to entire organization.

The app is published specifically to an Azure Active Directory security group.

Members of this security group are all guests invited to the tenant using Azure AD B2B.

I do not see any restrictions mentioned for this type of deployment.

The user is trying through the web browser and still cannot find the app.

Hi, @omacoder 

Please make sure to enable the 'Share content with external users' feature in the Power BI admin portal before inviting guest users. 

When publishing your app, On Permissions, you may decide who has access to the app, and what they can do with it. When you select Publish app, you see a message confirming it’s ready to publish. In the Share this app dialog box, you can copy the URL that’s a direct link to this app. Please try to send that direct link to the people you’ve shared it with. The link  may help.

Best Regards
