Options to view Power BI reports without Pro license

romals29 — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 12:21:30 GMT

Hi All..

I am looking to embed the power Bi dashboard with the RLS feature. I require business users to view Power BI reports in any way to view free with Row-level security.

I have tried embedding in online PowerPoint and I was able to pass filters too in the link but there also faced the issue that users need to have a Power BI license, even a free license would work but it will last only for 14 days.

My client is a medium business owner so they can't afford a pro license for all business users just to view reports.

May you please guide me on this by sharing your ideas.

Thank You

Romal

@romals29 The only option is Publish to Web for free licensing. But, that doesn't support RLS. How many users need to view the report?

Hi Greg

Would be around 120 to 160 users.

HI @romals29,

'Publish to web' feature is free to use but it does not include any security option so the RLS features for this.

You can consider upgrading to a premium license to get a premium capacity for shared content and the content assigned in this capacity can be viewed without a pro license.
