As a financial accounting and consulting firm, we have to work with a lot of users outside our domain network. We want to provide BI and Dashboard services for those clients. Power BI doesn't have a great solution for managing multiple external clients currently.

Our specific issue is that we can create an office 365 group, add an external user to that group, and assign that user a Power BI pro licenses, but that user cannot access the group work space in power BI. It throws an azure active directory error. This doesn't make sense. They can use the other pro features like increased storage, but we can't take advantage of the group work space, which is critical for companies like ours.
