Advice on membership levels

Hi All,

 

I am trying to get an idea of what level of membership i should get and unfortunately can't seem to find an answer on google.

 

I have been tasked to find out what is the best solution to get 4/5 report developers to create reports and dashboards with the intention of them being shared with 20/30 managers. We would require them to be able to drill into the raw data as well.

 

Is this possible with the free desktop version or would I need to go for something like Power BI Pro or Premium.

 

Apologies if this is in the wrong place or seems silly, I am completely knew to this tool.

 

Thanks

B

@Bilal_321321,

If the report developers share dashboard to managers, the managers require Pro to view reports.

However, if report developers use the "Publish to web" functionality to share report to managers, managers don't require Pro. But please note that managers are not able to export underlying data from visuals in this case. Also, if the dashboard and reports don't contain Power BI pro content, report developers will not require pro.

@Bilal_321321,

Agree with edavila. The report developers and managers need Power BI Pro version, they can get Power BI Pro trial. You can review this article to get more details about sharing dashboard in Power BI Service.

In addition, to drill into the raw data, managers can export underlying data from visuals.

Thanks for this, I completely see why the report developers need to be Pro but all the managers will ever do is view reports we have created and sent to them. do they still need the pro package?

 

Thanks

You will need the Power Pro version, but you still can get like a trial free version and I got mine for 1 year free, so Im able to share with others.
