PowerBI corporate environment

[ftorres]

Good morning guys, I'm sorry if this question does not come to the case in this forum. But I have a problem here in the company where I work and I would like to know if anyone could help me with suggestions. The company used to have only a few power BI users, today has more and become unviable to pass the pro-license to all users because it's too expensive. We use sharepoint here, do you have any solution to provide and share dashboards and reports using the same with free license users?

Thanks

Hi @ftorres,

To view shared contents, recipients need Power BI Pro licenses, or the content needs to be in a Premium capacity. Apart from this, if you want free users can view shared content, you can publish Power BI reports to the whole Internet by embedding interactive visualizations in blog posts, websites, social media, and other online communications on any device. Or you can print or save as PDF (or other static file format) an entire dashboard, dashboard tile, report page, or visualization from the Power BI service.

Best regards,

Hi @v-yulgu-msft,

What about the options using rest API and /or azure? Do you know if is it necessary a pro license to the viewers?

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for the help, but in this case the users need a power BI pro license to see the reports and dashboards?

Power BI embedded lets you imbed the content within your own webpages and it handles the authentication to Power BI.  Users won't need a pro license to view material within Power BI Embedded.
