I have many end users who should remain as such. End users. They should be able to consume content period. Having this limited access will not allow them to edit, alter, delete, update, etc. They should also not be able to download content in a PBIX file as they won't be permission-ed to connect to the original data sources only. This would be very helpful to have, particularly in the new apps where I have various levels of users interacting with the published content, some who truly need read-only access (particularly in B2B situations where we publish data to external customers who shouldn't have the ability to do anything but view the dashboard).

- Ideally we would be able to assign users with Free licenses to this Viewer role within the Workspace. If they aren't able to perform any actions on the content it doesn't seem like they should need a Pro License.

- I've read that this is supposed to get added for the new new workspace experience (I say new new because the latest updated workspace experience is different than the previous new workpace experience), but there is no timeline that I can see on the roadmap. Can we get this on the roadmap? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2019wave2/index. In the meantime, some people might be able to leverage the "Publish App" option - not sure if that works for External Customers.
- Now we have this new viewer role. But (as usual) this requires Premium License. This means that most organisations still cannot use this feature because it is to expensive..
The Viewer role exists today - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-the-new-viewer-role-for-power-bi-workspaces/
- Status added:Completed
