Power BI embedded read-only users without license

[karlrez]

I am trying to have a user without a power bi license view our embedded reports with read-only access but cannot obtain the Microsoft access token.

The scope for the login request is:

scope: ['https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/.default']

Our license capacity is: Premium Per User - Reserved SKU: PP3, Region Canada Central.

Afterwards we hope to request read-only access in the embed token request. Is this possible with the current license capacity?

Hi, @karlrez 

In the ppu, you can't share reports to Power BI users who don't have a license. You need to have a Power BI premium capacity or a Power BI embodied capacity to embed the report for free Power BI users to access.
Here we typically use Power BI embedded for customer. You can check out this document below:

If you have a PPU license, your users need to have at least a PPU license to access your reports.
