PowerBi Premium - External users
Power BI premium does not require viewers with Power BI free to viewed shared dashboards. Does this include users that are external to the organization in which the Premium license resides? I.e. if I create a dashboard in premium can my customer view the dashboard with out requiring a pro license?
Hi jhampson,
To share with external users whose license are free, if your dashboard contains Power BI free features, recipients are able to view the shared dashboard. But if dashboard contains pro content, those external users need pro licenses.

That is interesting, I haven't it heard explained this way before. What are Power BI "free features" and what is considered to be "pro content"?
