HI&nbsp;AB21805&nbsp;Check permissions and see if External user have access to read that Promoted Tiles list.

Hi!Where can I check this? Does this work for anonymous users too?

AB21805&nbsp;&nbsp;You can only allow anonymous access via a link. Therefore if you give one link to a page which then has content in another list on it, the content in another list cannot be seen by the anonymous users. There isn't a way to allow general anonymous access to content. You would need to get them to use Microsoft or Office 365 accounts and authenticate the users.&nbsp;
