External User Access and Reporting Integration

External user access to Power BI reports can be provided by adding guests to your Power BI tenant, but this might require licensing and can pose certain challenges in terms of user management. Embedding solutions offer a more customizable and seamless user experience by allowing reports to be embedded into web applications. However, this option requires substantial development effort and expertise in Power BI APIs. Third-party tools can provide an easier solution for BI professionals looking to offer reports as products or services.
