What can be shared with free users on a Premium capacity

Hi there,

We have a P1 SKU Premium capacity.

Sadly, we are still getting a lot of feedback from users still being prompted for a Pro license.

Before I create a ticket, I would like to have things cleared up on what can be shared.

 

Can a Pro user on a Premium capacity workspace shared the following with a Free user:

  1. A dashboard by clicking the "Share" button?
  2. A report by sending the direct URL?
  3. Does this change if a dashboard using a visual from the report has been shared first?
  4. A workspace by adding the user as a member?
  5. An app by adding the user?

I can't seem to find info on the in the Premium FAQ.

Can a Pro user on a Premium capacity workspace shared the following with a Free user:

  1. A dashboard by clicking the "Share" button? No
  2. A report by sending the direct URL? No, requires shared dashboard
  3. Does this change if a dashboard using a visual from the report has been shared first? Only for Pro users who can consume dashboards
  4. A workspace by adding the user as a member? No, only Pro users can be added to an App Workspace
  5. An app by adding the user? Yes, this is the only method by which you can share to free users. Using Apps.

Sharing dashboards is a request, I would suggest you add your vote to it to get this functionality integrated.

I'm not an expert, but I think/know I shared dashboards thru App with free users in December 2017. Am I missing out on something here?

Thanks for your answer!

Do you have any source for this or is it based on personal experience?
