Multiple Login using same account - Power BI Service

Hi,

 

Could anyone please tell me if multiple users can login at the same time using the same credentials on powerbi.com? 

 

Since I am sharing my dashboard with multiple users at the same time, I would like to know if this can be done without creating a group option, such that I create one user login id and share my dashboard only to that id, and if multiple users can login to the same account using the same password?

 

Any reply on this would be of great help!

@Mathangi_S A couple things to mention here. 

 

First, when you share a dashboard there is no limit to the number of people that can see it and interact with it. It's a one to many scenerio, you don't need them all to log in to the same place because they each have their own workspace, and the dashboard will show up for all of them.

Second, if you mean that you need multiple users to all have access to change the dashboard/reports and you want to use the same login instead of a Group Workspace I can only imagine you are trying to do this because you are trying to avoid the "Pro" license.

Third, I was able to connect to the same workspace from multiple machines with the same login, but I don't know how that scales.

Fourth, I wouldn't recommend this as every user would have access to fully control the environment and remove dashboards or alter any reports, etc.
