It is next to impossible to switch between accounts/tenants in the Power BI mobile client. The user must first log out of the existing account/tenant, and then establish a connection with the different tenant. This is a multi-multi step process.

Contrast this with the multi tenant capabilities of the Teams mobile app, or of Outlook, SharePoint etc. We need better account switching in the Power BI mobile app.

RE: Allow for simpler account switching between tenants

Sharing ctid links isn't a good way for a big roll out. A simple switch in the mobile app is necessary for serving a big audience in another tenant.

We explicitly share high level rapports to Audit Committees and Co-operative management boards. Most of them use mobile devices and they are not happy having to look-up / receive a link every time. Please make it more user friendly for B2B

The Power BI portal, Desktop and Mobile App should definitely work as the Azure Portal.
In B2B context, it is a mandatory feature !

The Azure Portal does this beautifully... please make Power BI act in the same manner. Having to bookmark the ?ctid link makes me sad.
