According to the article below, we can have external users connect to XMLA endpoint of premium datasets. So in theory we can use Tableau desktop, connect to a shared dataset as directquery / live connection (similar to AAS/SSAS) and create reports.

So I have conducted a test with an external user, using Tableau Desktop (as the external tool) to connect to the XMLA endpoint, but connection is unsuccessful. Can anyone share their experience and more insight to this use scenario? Following is the config I used:
Hi @chaz2jerry ,
I do not know much about XMLA but I did find these two articles about how this should be working. Let us know if that helped!

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

Thanks @collinq I checked the two articles but they don't seem to solve my scenario. The first article includes documentation for XMLA Endpoint, but doesn't specify how to connect to it from external B2B user.
