    Hi ConstMoss,

     

    PG is staring working on the feature to share reports. See: Share Reports in Power BI.

     

    As you are free user, if you want to share reports, available methods are Publish to web and Share Dashboards. If you have sensitive data in the report, Publish to web is not suggested, as the report or visual you publish can be viewed by anyone on the Internet.

     

    Best Regards,

    You can do this by installing a PowerBI Desktop app on each user's computer

    Then, share with them the .pbix file

    The file can't be opened simultaneously by two or more users, so either email them or duplicate the file in the shared folder for each user.
