Power BI Licence Query
Hi mrben ,
For your scenario, I'm afraid that both the user 2 and user 3 don't need the Power BI Pro license.
Actually, if you don't publish your report in Power BI Service, you could not sign in Power BI Desktop.
You may have a little confused about Power BI license.
Normally, if you need peer to peer sharing, you'd better have the Pro license. If you have Pro license, you could share your content in Power BI Service.
More details, please refer to this docuement.
If you still need any help, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Cherry

Thank you for your reply v-piga-msft
For absolute clarity, am I correct in saying that a user only needs a Power BI Pro licence if they share content through a Power BI Service, and any method of sharing of reports, templates or content is freely allowed, without a licence, if the user only engages with Power BI Desktop, or takes screenshots of Power BI Desktop to put into presentations or emails?
