    Yes miikasa i have mentioned alternative ways too "If upgrading to Premium is not an option, consider the alternatives like embedding or exporting reports based on your specific needs and constraints."

     

    1. Microsoft 365 Licensing:

      • Check for Microsoft 365 E5 or A5 Licenses: If your organization uses Microsoft 365 E5 or A5 licenses, these come with Power BI Pro. Users with these licenses can access shared content without needing a separate Power BI Pro subscription.
      • Upgrade Licenses: Consider upgrading users to Microsoft 365 plans that include Power BI Pro if feasible.

    Hope it helps you

Hi miikasa - To share your Power BI reports with free users, especially when using RLS, is to move to Power BI Premium. This solution ensures compliance with Microsoft’s licensing model while providing access to all intended users.

If upgrading to Premium is not an option, consider the alternatives like embedding or exporting reports based on your specific needs and constraints.

 

or

another approach is:

  • Check for Microsoft 365 E5 or A5 Licenses: If your organization uses Microsoft 365 E5 or A5 licenses, these come with Power BI Pro. Users with these licenses can access shared content without needing a separate Power BI Pro subscription.
  • Upgrade Licenses: Consider upgrading users to Microsoft 365 plans that include Power BI Pro if feasible.
