Microsoft rep got back with a solution. In short, upgrade to Premium service and remove all Pro licenses except keep developers as Pro. That way free users can consume through the service but cannot publish or share. We were not ready to move to Premium but it appears that is the only option.
But we want the information consumers to use Power BI service, just not have the ability to publish anything there. If we disable sign in are we not also preventing them from consuming content on the service?
