Licensing

[afaf]

Hi, Dear.

What license do I need to purchase to provide cloud dashboards to all my Microsoft 365 users in reading mode? Do I need the Server license?
Do all users need a Power BI license for this view permission?
The number of users who initially need edit access to the Power BI Dashboard is 3.

Thanks!

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?

[Burningsuit]

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

hope this helps

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
