Power BI Error:
AADSTS500141

What does this error mean?

B2B guest redemption succeeded, but the sign-in request didn't originate from the resource application that owns the invitation.

Common causes

  • 1Sign-in initiated against the /common or /consumers endpoint instead of the resource tenant ID (/{tenantId}) where the guest was invited
  • 2User clicked an old invitation/redemption link after redemption was already completed, instead of accessing the application directly
  • 3App registration's signInAudience is misconfigured (single-tenant) for a multi-tenant or B2B guest scenario
  • 4Cross-tenant access settings or external collaboration policy in Entra ID (Azure AD) blocks the inbound request from the home tenant
  • 5Power BI / Fabric workspace shared with a guest, but the guest opens the link via the wrong tenant switcher (wrong ?ctid= parameter)

How to fix it

  1. 1Sign in directly via the resource tenant URL — e.g. https://app.powerbi.com/?ctid={resourceTenantId} or https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId} — instead of /common or a stale invite link
  2. 2In Entra ID admin center → External Identities → Cross-tenant access settings, verify the home tenant is allowed for inbound B2B collaboration to the resource tenant
  3. 3Open the app registration manifest and confirm signInAudience is AzureADMultipleOrgs (or AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount) for B2B/multi-tenant scenarios; recreate the registration if it's single-tenant
  4. 4Have the resource-tenant admin re-issue a fresh invitation via Users → New guest user, and have the guest open the new redemption link in a clean browser session
  5. 5If using Power BI embedded or a custom app, ensure the authority URL passed to MSAL is https://login.microsoftonline.com/{resourceTenantId}, not /common
