    Because you were not sharing the workspace, you were sharing the Report. Besides how were you sharing the report? Public URL?

Hi !

The licensing reinformacment will enforce once you published those reports. Try publishing the report which user have access to now, and after publishing the report again user will not be able to see it without having Pro License.

    Hi !

    The licnesing part is very simple, If you want to use a Power BI Report either as a Developer or End User, you will need Power BI (Pro) license if your reports are published into Standard Workspace (New Generation).

     

    If you have some reports publsihed into Classical workspace (Legacy), users might still be able to acees it, it's justa  matter of time when reinforcement will place into these as well.

    So you need to have a Power BI (Pro) license for each user. If you are a small / medium size enterprise.

     

    As an alternate you can have 1 license of each department which can be shared between users.

    Power BI Embeded / Premium Licensing options are for Large sclae enterprises.
