The correct answer is to configure Bring Your Own Tenant (BYOT) with Azure B2B. This solution allows external users to access Power BI reports without needing their own Power BI licenses because they authenticate through their own organization’s Azure Active Directory tenant, while the report’s live connection to Azure Analysis Services remains secure. On the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst PL-300 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how Power BI Premium per capacity enables external sharing without per-user licensing, a common trap being that guest users in your tenant still require licenses. Remember, BYOT shifts the license burden to the external user’s tenant, making it ideal for sharing with unlicensed partners. A quick memory tip: BYOT stands for “Bring Your Own Tenant,” so think of it as letting guests use their own “home” to enter your report.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
