Share Report with Coworkers without Pro License

Are there any ways to share a Power BI Report with others within my organization (not broadly), to users who do NOT have a Power BI Pro License?  I had shared one previously with one of my coworkers ...

    Hi, chris-thompson 

    I just realized I overlooked this. PowerBI Pro licenses are required, otherwise they will only be allowed to view the content in their 'My Workspace'.

    The biggest difference between Free and Pro is that with Pro you can share your data, reports, and dashboards with other users who also have a Power BI Pro license.

    You should consider 'Power BI Premium Capacity' or 'Publish to web', which enables unlimited distribution of your content without the need for consumers to have Pro licenses.

Hi, chris-thompson 

Could you please tell me whether your problem has been solved?

As a workaround, you can copy these content to a new workspace and granted users access to the entire workspace as a Member. So they can directly access everything under the workspace.

Roles in the new workspaces in Power BI

    The issue had not been solved.  I will have to look into your recommendation.  Do all of the individuals that you want to grant access to the workspace need to have PowerBI Pro licenses?  Or is this supposed to be a workaround for that?
