Community Insight

Power BI sharing accepts security groups and Microsoft 365 groups as recipients — distribution lists and Teams teams are not valid sharing targets.

Report1 will be shared with multiple users by adding them to a group, and two group types that Power BI sharing accepts must be identified.

Counting a distribution group because it works in RLS role assignment — group eligibility differs by feature, and the sharing flow rejects distribution groups.

To share a Power BI report named Report1 with multiple users by adding them to a group, you can use the following types of groups: A. Security group D. Microsoft 365 group Both security groups and Microsoft 365 groups can be used to manage access to Power BI reports. Security groups are typically used for managing permissions and access control, while Microsoft 365 groups provide a collaborative workspace with shared resources, including access to Power BI reports. Distribution groups and Microsoft Teams teams are not typically used for managing access to Power BI reports in this context.

A. security group Security groups can be used to manage user access and permissions in Power BI. D. Microsoft 365 group Microsoft 365 groups (formerly known as Office 365 groups) can also be used to manage access and permissions in Power BI, and they integrate well with other Microsoft 365 services.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Microsoft's sharing documentation states that report sharing can be addressed to individual users, security groups, and Microsoft 365 groups. A security group (A) bundles users for access control, and a Microsoft 365 group (D) ties membership to a collaborative workspace — both are accepted recipients, so adding users to either type then sharing with the group satisfies the requirement.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

A distribution group (B) is a mail-routing construct; Power BI's sharing flow does not accept distribution groups as sharing recipients — that group type appears in RLS role membership lists, a different feature with different rules. A Microsoft Teams team (C) is not a share target either; content reaches Teams users by embedding or app distribution, not by sharing to the team object itself.

Community Comment Notes

The top-voted bloc answers security group plus Microsoft 365 group, consistent with the sharing documentation. A dissenting comment picks the distribution group by transplanting the RLS role rules into the sharing scenario, which is the classic cross-feature confusion this question tests.
