TSbolla to share the report it's not mandatory to have a pro license 

But there is a 2 different way to share the reports

1 -  Share the reports Using Publish to SharePoint as your organization already using E3 license 

2 - Sharing reports & dashboards by using Power BI Embedded service

Chetan,

Say a user with Power BI Pro license publish a dashboard to SharePoint (E3 license), Does users visiting that dashboard in SharePoint need any license?

 

My understadning is that those SharePoint users will fall under Power BI (Free) license.

 

Please advice

    TSbolla you can't share the dashboard, you can only share the report. 

    however, SharePoint doesn't require any license for power bi to visiting

    Sharing requires a Pro license and you need a Pro license to view a shared dashboard. Premium gets around this through the use of Apps but sharing always requires Pro now.
