Hi @ceka,

Actually, with sharing, whether you share content inside or outside your organization, you need a Power BI Pro license. Your recipients also need Power BI Pro licenses, or the content needs to be in a Premium capacity.

So your colleagues also need Pro license when they want to view the content shared with them.

Besides, you could purchase Premium and configure your app workspace with Premium.

Items within a Premium capacity

• Accessing app workspaces (as members or admins) and publishing apps requires a Power BI Pro license.
• App readers can be Power BI Pro or free users.
• Sharing requires a Power BI Pro license but recipients can be Power BI Pro or free users.
• Whether they have a Power BI Pro or free license, dashboard recipients can set data alerts.
• REST APIs for embedding utilize a service account, with a Power BI Pro license, rather than a user.

For further information, you could have a reference of the articles below.
