Power bi sharing

‎05-15-2019 08:21 PM

Hi : When I share my dashboard from PowerBi Sevice with my colleague, a message comes up when my colleague try to view the report sayng that he needs to have a Pro license.

My understanding is, as a report developer I need a Pro license but if my colleague only wants to view the report he only needs Power Bi installed in the deskstop doesn't have to be a pro license holder.

Can you please let me know if I am missing something?

@powerinM if you sharing thur powerbi service , yes they do need powerbi pro. or you can send them pbix file which they can open using powerbi desktop and then no pro license required.
