# Share with External Users

You can share the Power BI app with external users (guests) in your Azure Active Directory.

### 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.&#x20;

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**](/v1/user-guides/share-the-power-bi-app/share-app-only.md) 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 The app will not be published automatically to external users.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>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bsure.io/v1/user-guides/share-the-power-bi-app/share-with-external-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
