I created a dashboard in Power BI and would like to share the work with my friends through my novypro profile. But in novypro, it asked me for the embedded url. As I am currently using my school mail id for all my Power BI works, I couldn't see the publish to web option in order to get the embedded URL.
In the other links I tried, I learned that I have to check with the tenant option under Admin Portal. But under Admin Portal I couldn't see anything like that and I have attached the image below.
Is there any other way to send our report to the external users?
The reason you can't see any other tenant settings in the Admin portal is that you are not an Admin. You need to ask an admin to allow you to publish to the web.
The Power BI admin portal has settings that control who can publish to
the web. Work with your organization's Power BI administrator to
change the Publish to web tenant settings in the admin portal.
For smaller organizations or individuals who signed up for Power BI,
you may not have a Power BI administrator yet. Follow our process for
admin takeover. Once you have a Power BI administrator, they can
enable creating embed codes for you.
Established organizations usually already have a Power BI
administrator. People in any of the following roles can act as a Power
BI administrator:
Global administrators Users with the Power BI service admin role in
Azure Active Directory You need to find one of these people in your
organization and ask them to update the Publish to web tenant settings
in the admin portal.

Alternatively you can sign up for your own Developer Tenant, which includes E5 so you can use Power BI there and have full control.
I am trying to add a user by email in the power bi app RLS. For this, I have created a Role and then publish the report online. Now I want to add the user. But I am unable to do it. Below is the screenshot
It clearly says the "One or more email addresses are outside your organization: gmail.com".
I have checked the admin portal the Invite to the external user is enabled.
I don't know what is the main reason, but I am stuck to it.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I want to know the difference in the following 2 options in Power BI Service -> File -> Embed Report:
Website or Portal
Publish to Web (public)
My observation was that you can use Report Filters in Website or Portal option but Report Filters are disabled in Publish to Web option.
Can someone please answer my following queries:
When should we use each of the 2 options?
Which option needs Power BI Embedded Tokens and Capacity to use in production environment?
Can users use Filtering on the report in both the 2 options?
Thanks!

Please find the answer below:
1.Difference between Publish to Web and Publish to Website
Publish to Web:
Report will be public
No need to Login (Anyone with the link can view the report)
With the Power BI Publish to web option :
a. You can easily embed interactive Power BI content in blog posts, websites, emails, or social media.
b. You can also easily edit, update, refresh or stop sharing your published visuals.
Publish to Website:
Report will be private
Need to Login first (Unauthorized personal can’t be able to view the report)
With the Power BI Publish to website option :
a. User who has access to that workspace can see the report.
b. User who is member of your organization can see report from that workspace.
2.You don't need the Tokens and Capacity to publish the reports to web or website.
3.Filtering with Publish to Website and Publish to Web
With Publish to Website you can use filtering.
With Publish to Web to use the filtering on the report, you need to have the Power BI Pro License.
Publish to web does not allow display of the filter pane and tabs - at least as for now according to the Microsoft - see this link and the section called "Considerations and Limitations": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-report-filter. So if you have filters in the filter pane you would have to move them over to the main content of the report - not ideal if users are already used to using filters on the filter pane.
Publish to website or portal will just give you an iframe with a private URL and when users load the web page they will have to authenticate.
In order to embed and authenticate on behalf of all the users you will need a token. One way to do this is using principal service account - this way you won't be supplying any user account credentials. This workflow is well documented and you can even download a test application with working code where you would need to supply your values such as workspace id, report id, tenant id, application id and finally application secret. Get started with token authentication using this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-tokens. Double check token expire date and set it appropriately.
An employee responsible for Power BI just quit at my workplace and he had created a couple of PowerBI apps that were later published organisation-wide.
I have no Power BI knowledge, and I've been tasked with transferring ownership of these apps since the ex-employee account is now set for deletion. I tried searching online but did not see anything that could help me.
Is there a guide somewhere that could help with this.
You need to become the owner of the App Registrations for the Apps he created. You can do this through portal.azure.com if you search App Registrations then click the App(s) he created and there will be an "Owners" tab where you can remove him and add yourself.
Is the Power BI REST API only allowed to be called for accounts within the same organization of the application?
For example, in Azure I created a new Power BI app in the Azure Active Directory mycorp.onmicrosoft.com.
Then when using the API and redirecting the user to authenticate, it doesn't seem to work unless the user logs in as a user in the *#mycorp.onmicrosoft.com organization.
The error message is: Application with identifier '' was not found in the directory
I really hope this is not a limitation.
Coming back to this thread. You're right that today Power BI requires the user and the content to be in the same organization. We do not have cross tenant sharing yet (it's something we're looking into).
