Power BI Licensing Question

Hi everyone,

We are currently using on-premise Report Server for Power BI reporting purposes and have Power BI Pro licenses for developers/publishers - no cloud service usage at the moment.

We would like to extend our reporting capabilities for our end-users with a self-service semi-automated manner. Due to multiplexing topic we could not be sure how to proper license our environment and your helps are greatly appretiated. 

 

Here is our scenario:

1-  End users will perform a request for "report creation" using our Service Management software. Our developers/publishers will review the service request and if-manually approved, then will create a report for that user and will publish it to report server. To enable data refleshment schedule purposes - developer will configure a Schedule refresh for that report  "using the users' SQL credentials to connect to the data source".

 

2- Some other users (within the requester user deparment) will subscribe to the report and will get daily/weekly paginated PDF reports.

 

So currently We have reporting server licenses, Power BI publisher licenses for developers/publishers and as far as we know "report consumers" do not require a viewer license for web publishing. We just want to verify/consult if above scenario is compliant with multiplexing licensing model.

 

Please feel free to request more information if scenario and usage is not clear and thank you for your feedbacks.

 

Regards,

Hebelek.

@hebelek72 , Publishing here means app.powerbi.com ?

 

If you consider a premium license it provides capacity on app.powerbi.com and also has a report server license

 

No, we are not using any online/cloud services (yet) due to regulations.

 

We are publishing reports within internal company network using BI reporting server services. Internal users reach the reports over internal web portal.
