How to publish reports to "Externals" without them having to sign-in

Hi,

 

My question is: did I miss an option?

 

From what I´ve read there are 3 options with PowerBI to "give reports to people without having them to login/requiring a Power-BI-Account AND which are outside of your organization":

 

1) To publish to the web/To give out the whole reports for free. But then the published report can be accessed by anyone and MUST not be behind a paywall

2) To get PowerBI Premium with a server of your own - for $5000 a month

3) To use PowerBI embed. Which requires AzureActiveDirectory and an SKU

 

Are these the options I have?

 

A follow-up question I posted on the Azure-Forum: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/222357/approx-cost-for-sku-and-aad.html

 

Bye

 

Michael

Hi. You have one more option. Another way to share is that each user pays for a pro license account.
You can have a pro account and share with external adding the external account as a guess and pay for pro for that one too. Like this:

Guyinacube and Curbal Bi have videos for this in their youtube channel.

Hope that helps,
