I used the Power BI Pro trial to check out report sharing. After the Pro trial ended I no longer have access to view or change permissions to the reports although they can still be viewed by others who still have access to Pro. Can I change the permissions on the reports other than deleting them? This appears to be a security issue. It would make sense if I could remove people, but not add them. It doesn't make sense that others can view my reports when I no longer control the permissions for sharing.
After posting this, I received an email welcoming me to a Power BI Pro 60 day trial. When I clicked on the link, I had to log in to Power BI as if it were my first time logging in, but my account showed up the same without Pro access. I have already used the Pro trial and the free extension. I requested having Pro added as an enterprise license, but that hasn't happened. If I could pay for Pro access myself, I (and my team) would until an enterprise license is available, but I can't pay for Pro access myself either.

Hi jiwhite,
Free user can't share or edit share permission in power bi service. Please refer to this documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-share-dashboards
In your senario, you should contact your department to purchase Power BI Pro license for your account.

Hi,
All the reports and dataset you have shared with other people won't be accessed once you delete the original reports and dataset. So any data won't be leaked.

Hi jiwhite,
I understand your requirement, but it is not recommended to share important reports with others while you are using pro trial.
As a workaround, you can delete the report in PBI service and republish the report from PBI desktop.
If you think it's not user-friendly, you can submit your idea here:
