Cost and license types in embedded context
Currently I work in an organization and my goal is to embed my reports on a web portal, made by our devs. All of the organization will have access to the portal using existing AD autentication (active directory), but they don't have Pro license.
But i'm extremely confused by all the different types of licenses that exist, and what exactly I would need to actually embed the content. I read about pro and premium (I have pro), and A1, EM1, P1. And now i'm hearing there is also "Power Bi Embbeded" and that is different from Premium? The tutorial from microsoft that I followed said I would need to have only a Pro account, but the existence os these licenses tell me otherwise.
I need some general guidance in what i will need to make this possible for my folks here. I've done the simple "paste the iframe in the front" and it works, but they all need the pro license to view.
Thank you for the patiente,

In your case, you can only use the "Publish to web" method to embed the report so that your users can access the report.
Publish to web from Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
1, If you have Pro license and the report is in a workspace with Premium capacity and your users do not have Pro licenses.
In this case, you can use 'Prublish to web' or 'Embed report in secure portal or website' to embed the report.

2, If you have Pro and your users also have Pro licenses.
In this case, you can use 'Prublish to web' or 'Embed report in secure portal or website' to embed the report.
3, About Power BI Embeded.
So if you want to use 'Embed report in secure portal or website', I suggest you buy Premium (P/EM), or assign a Pro license to each of your users.
