Suddently dashboard requires Pro licensing?

Hello fellow users of Power Bi,


I have had a dashboard for quite some time shared with an external user without any problems but out of the blue she cant see the dashboard, it tells her she needs to have a Pro license? I havnt changed anything in the dashboard and I am not using RLS (because thats a pro feature), how can I figure out why this issue is suddently happening and how can I figure out if something suddently has become a pro feature?

Best regards

Hi @Shamatix,

 

Yes, in current release, with sharing, whether you share content inside or outside your organization, you and your recipients need a Power BI Pro license, or the content needs to be in a Premium capacity. 

 

Please have a look at this article: Share your Power BI dashboards with coworkers and others

Hi,

 

external users should have Pro license to access the report or dashboard. With out pro license they can't access the dashboards which you had shared with them.
