Dashboard sharing Disabled for non-PRO users ?

Submitted by Impactful Individual on ‎04-27-2017 05:28 AM

We can no longer share a dashboard with users from our own workspace. I received the message:

"This dashboard contains Power BI Pro content. Only users that have Power BI Pro will have access to it"

 

I confirmed my fears by publishing the simplest of reports which is 100% non-pro content. There have been a few other mentions of it on the forum in the past couple of hours, but I thought I'd create an official post. 

 

1st sharing was disabled from Group Workspaces to non-pro users. Surely Microsoft has accidentally disabled ALL sharing for non-pro users ? If not, you can imagine the uproar.

 

Is anybody else facing the same problem ? 

 

Power BI clearly states that we are able to share personal dashboards with non-pro users.

the way i understand it is that Free users won't be able to share dashboards AND they won't be able to view dashboards created by Pro users.

That's my understanding also. AND the ability to view EXISTING dashboards that have already been shared will be revoked. Really hope I'm wrong about that last one.

@ScottBrier, 

 

Correct. They will be revoked if you are no longer a PRO user. 

 

The one thing that Microsoft has yet to answer is whether current PRO trial users can be extended for another year until they can prove the effectiveness and obtain funding. A 3 week grace period absolutely makes no sense. My Microsoft contact is going to confirm it for me on Monday.

@stevend, 

 

Unfortunately, only PRO users can see content from other PRO users. 

 

Free is only useful for individuals.

@djnww 

Thank you for clarifying. Learning more and more by the day - also found out that Export options will be revoked for free users, even under the premium model. If true, this would mean our end users could no longer export data from visuals into excel for sharing/additional analysis. Without PRO. Whoa!

@ScottBrier,

 

Good catch !!!!!!!!!!! I must read up on this. The fine print is very annoying.

Really hope I misunderstood though. Seems like "export to Excel" is pretty basic, so I'm not sure why they would choke that off.
