Power BI Licensing | 0365 Admin Obligations?

Hi Anonymous,

#1, AFAIK, the basic sharing features on power bi required the pro licenses. Since you are working with o365, you can consider choosing E3 subscription if you did not require too many users for power bi pro licenses. (it include some power bi pro licenses that availed before the E3 subscription expired)

If you are working on a report that design with a dataset that does not include any sensitive data, you can consider using publish to web to share, it does not require a pro license. (notice: it also does not include any security settings so everyone who knows the link can be viewed the shared contents)

#2, You can take a look at the following link about azure b2b sharing for external users:

If you are handling sharing content to large amount users, I'd like to suggest check power bi premium that shares contents based on premium capacity and not required pro licenses.
