    Hello rpatil0310 ,

     

    1- If you use App Owns data embedding, which is standar SaaS scenario, it works. But reports must run on Embedded/Premium/Fabric capactiy. With that users do not need any license. But if your report stay on Pro / Free capacity, every viewer needs pro.

     

    2- Power BI Embedded ( A SKU) is best choice for SaaS. It is designed for external customers and you only pay for computing not for users.

     

    3- Create embedded caoacşty from Azure Portal. After that you can assign workspaces to capacity. Use a Service Principal authentication. Implement App Owns Data embedding. 

     

    4- Gateway works tha same.

     

    If this solved your issue, please mark it as the accepted solution. ✅
