Hi,
I have a Pro license and am currently the only one in my company branch who creates reports/dashboards in PBI Desktop and publishes them to PBI Service. I gave access to my App (containing my dashboard) to a colleague who's never used PBI, ie doesn't have a license. They are able to view my dashboard on PBI Service. Why then am I seeing variations of this reponse when describing the advantages of a Pro license?
"A Power BI Pro license is needed for both developers and report consumers to view reports in the Power BI Service in the absence of Power BI Premium."
Why is my colleague able to "consume" my report without a license?
Thanks,
Charles

Hi @Anonymous
The licence requirements as you stated them are correct.
There are a few reasons why your colleague may be able to see your report, in increasing order of unlikeliness:
I think that probably Number 1 is the most likely; your colleague can check this by clicking on the top right "Profile" of the Power BI Service, and it will show what Licence they have. (Unless, of course you believe in Santa Claus ).
Hope this helps
