- Is it true that with my pro license, members in my org can view the report contents in the server without any pbi subscription?
No this is not true. Any sharing of reports can only be done if the users are covered by some sort of subscription.
There are 2 ways of sharing reports on PowerBI.com
- Either you all have Pro licenses.
- Or the person with a Pro license publishes to a workspace attached to a premium capacity subscription. In this case report viewers are free, but you need to be at around a level of 500 viewers for this to make sense (or have a good business case for using other premium only features)

The only other option for sharing is the publish to web option. Viewers for this do not need a license, but this makes your content visible to everyone on the internet, not just a selected audience. So this is unsuitable for most data sets and is often disabled by tenant admins.
