Hi All:
I need some advise on sharing of Power BI Dashboards. So in our active directory we have got a mix of users - some exchange enabled and some other not. Those who are not exchange enabled, have got external email addresses. But they are all part of the same active directory.
When we share dashboard with those users who have got external email addresses, they get notified in those email addresses as expected. However when they sign into Power BI (using the active directory username/password) portal without clicking the invitation, they see the following screen:
If they click on the links in their email, they can sign into Power BI (using the active directory username/password) and see the dashboard. Is this expected? Do they have to click on the link to see the dashboard?
Once they can see the dashobard, I can see the following on the Share Dashboard panel of the Dashboard:
The external email address is still shown as Guest while a new user with a blank ID/name is create that says Can view ....To stop sharing, that blank user needs to be taken off. Any further sharing of other dashboards donesn't need the users to click on the email links anymore. They appear automatically in their 'My Workspace'!
I am really confused with this behaviour and any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Anindya
