    Thank you for clearing that up!  I was getting the desktop and web version mixed up.  When I watched the video on sharing I thought it was using the desktop version as the example.  I went back and watched again and realized it was the web version.

you cannot share reports.  you can only share dashboards.  and only from http://app.powerbi.com .. the only collaborative thing you can do from Power BI Desktop is to Publish your reports in to the service (http://app.powerbi.com)... all other collaboration activities have to be done from the service.

It seems that you cannot "share" reports, period. Is this correct to the best of your knowledge? If you wanted to share a report, you would need to send the .pbix file to another user (even if you have the Pro version)?
