# Share with External Users

### Prerequisite

The external users you want to share the Power BI App with have to be existing guests in your Azure AD.

### Add a guest user to your Azure AD

There are several ways to add external users as guests in you Azure AD. 

We will describe how you can do this with Microsoft Entra:

1. Go to [entra.microsoft.com](https://entra.microsoft.com).
2. Select **All users** in the **Users** section of **Azure Active Directory**<br>

### Share the Power BI app with external users

Once you have confirmed that the external user exists as a guest in your Azure AD, you can share the Power Bi app with them.

1. Follow the [**Share App only**](https://docs.bsure.io/v1/user-guides/share-the-power-bi-app/share-app-only) guide, and give permissions to the guest user<br>

2. The app will not be published automatically to external users. \
   You have to share the link to the app with them. You will find the **App link** under **Links** in the **Permissions** tab where you added the users.<br>
