Given the ability to share a channel to an external user, is there anything to prevent us from adding a power bi app into a tab on that channel and thus allowing external users to see the reports?
Currently I use the "app owns data/embedded" setup with a external website (time-consuming but works well).
Having externals authenticated from their own tenancy and invited into a Channel might I think open up a huge time-saver.
