PowerBI Report and Fabric licensing

[Ardie0819]

I have a question to  about using a free fabric  license with PowerBI reporting vs paying for a fabric license. What does a fabric free license provide? Can you share a your PowerBI report to others with a free fabric license or do they require a paid license. If so how do you share a PowerBI report to others using a free fabric license. Please provide some direction. Thanks so much.

Here's a general overview:

1. Power BI Free License:

   • With a free Power BI license, you can create reports and dashboards for your own use.
   • You can share reports and dashboards, but only with other Power BI Free users within your organization.

2. Power BI Pro License:

   • Power BI Pro allows sharing reports and dashboards not only within your organization but also with external users.
   • If you want to share a report with someone outside your organization, they will also need a Power BI Pro license.

3. Power BI Premium License:

   • Power BI Premium provides dedicated cloud capacity and additional features.
   • With Power BI Premium, you can share reports with external users without them needing a Power BI Pro license.

If you are referring to a "fabric license" in a specific context related to Power BI, it's recommended to check the latest documentation on the Power BI website or contact Microsoft support for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

As for sharing Power BI reports, it generally depends on the type of license you and your recipients have. You can share reports by publishing them to the Power BI service and then sharing them with others through their email addresses.

Remember that licensing models and features can evolve, so always refer to the most recent documentation or contact Microsoft support for the latest information.
