Pro vs. Licensing question
I am concerned about Pro licensing vs. Free licensing. I have a small analytics team (about 15 people) that serves many operational employees and leaders. My small team wants to use Pro for collabora...
You can take a look at this document. There is a list of Power BI Pro content as below. If the analytic team share Pro content with free users, free users will not be able to see these contents.
- Data from a DirectQuery dataset, such asSQL Server Analysis Services tabular data,Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, or Apache Spark for HDInsight.
- Data from adataset that refreshes more frequently than daily.
- Data from a dataset that connects to on-premises data using thePower BI Gateway - Personal or the On-premises Data Gateway.
- Data (including reports, dashboards or tiles) from a dataset that usesRow-level security (RLS).
- A dashboard or report that's installed from anorganizational content pack.
- A dashboard, report, or dataset that's contained in agroup workspace.
- A dashboard that contains data streamed at a rate above 10k rows/hour.
But if the analytic team only share the content which only contains following items, both pro and free users can see them.
- A dashboard or report connected to content packs for services (e.g. Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, and Google Analytics).
- A dashboard or report with data imported from files such as Excel spreadsheets, Power BI Desktop, and CSV.
- Tiles pinnedfrom a report in SQL Server Reporting Services.

v-haibl-msft Does this mean that, if I build a dashboard with an excel file residing in SharePoint Online, then I'm using Pro content?
Anonymous it doesn't matter, with the new license model in 5 days, only pro or premium can share.
