    Hi afaf 

    With a small number of users like this it is probably most cost-effective to purchase them all "Pro" licences.

    If a "Pro" licence shares any content in the Power BI cloud other users need a "Pro" licence to view it.

    "Free" Power BI licences can only view content shared with them on a "Premium Capacity", that works well for a large number of users (>500) but for smaller populations of users individual Power BI "Pro" licences are more cost-effective.

    See : Pricing & Product Comparison | Microsoft Power BI

    Hope this helps

Hi, Burningsuit 

 

I can use a single PPU (Premium per User) license for sharing Power BI Dashboard with 50 users from my organization's using the free license.

Is this possible?

    No, PPU does not allow access by free users, only a Premium Capacity organisational licence does that.

    hope this helps
