OK So I've done a lot of reading around about this question but I felt the only way to truly answer it would be to try and get help from someone who really knows.
I've been using the PowerBI desktop application for a few weeks, it's great and I had decided that the Pro version would meet our requirements. Here's what I wanted to do and the tools/licenses we have.
Application - PowerBI desktop (will be the PRO license)
Office 365 license - Enterprise E3
Data connections - SQL server/Flat files etc
Data refreshes - Would be desirable
Method of sharing - Sharepoint (on premise)
I wanted to create dashaboard in PowerBI PRO desktop, then follow the process to embed/display them in our sharepoint sites. I've seen that we have the PowerBI web part so I thought I was off to a good start. However I've read a lot of conflicting information about weather this will work or not, some say everyone who wants to view the reports/dashboards will need s PRO license, while others suggest that everyone (even free users) can view anything that is shared with them - as in this documentation article https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-embed-report-spo/
Can anyone help with a definitive answer to this? I've read alot but everyone seems to have a slightly different question/interpretation etc.
Really appreciate any help on this

Hi @marksmart,
To view Power BI reports embedded on SharePoint online, users have to have Power BI Pro License.
As described in above link, to enable a free license user have access to embedded reports, you need Power BI Premium environment. If you already have a Power BI Premium, you need to assign a workspace to a capacity. Then, you list the free user as a member of this app workspace. In that case, free users can read the embedded reports.

We have created an app in a premium space and every user we try can see the app on the PowerBI app with a free license. However, its' been hit or miss on the Sharepoint embedded link; with some users being able to see it with PowerBI Free and Others getting a message stating that they neew PowerBI Pro. Any ideas?
