Publish to Web functionality but make it for Internal Employees only

I love the Publish to Web Feature as you can let people anywhere in the world view your report for free. Is there a Publish to Web like functionality that will do the same thing for internal employees only? we dont want to pay a liscense just to review the report, and publish to web is free so I don't understand how to do this internally only

Think about how you guarantee that it's internal only. You need credentials, so it's a fundamentally different scenario and that's where different licensing options come into play. Sharing is not free.

@AlexisOlson  Yea what you provided is what I have been seeing, Can you tell me if the following is possible?

 

My plan was to embed the report into teams/sharepoint so no-one would ever see the link...

is there a way to add a paramater that is fed through the public web link that would send something like Pram Allow = True

 

I am assuming that this paramater would be available in my hidden links but not in the link that is shared if somone selected share, so if they use the shared link the pramater is not passed and the data would be empty if I then add the following to the Filters on All Pages

That might be possible but it's barely any more secure than Publish to Web without that extra complication since anyone with the shared link can access the report, internal or not.
