Share a Pro dashboard with a standard user

[dfraser2]

Right now, If I use PowerBI desktop to create a dataset, report and dashboard. I am not able to share it with a standard user. This effectively means that we have to either licence everyone as a pro (very expensive for 4k people), or not use the pro features at all (which isn't what we want). Pro users should be able to build and schedule the PowerBI, and then be able to share with any company user using AD security groups. Without these options the tool may not be a viable option...

What a great tool that will fall off the cliff because of a silly pricing scheme. I can create creative dashboards/reports using BI Pro with connection to our SQL data using a gateway, but I can't share with anyone because it requires $10/month/employee for eighty employees to view. No way that's going to fly!

Agree with this statement. Microsoft should make Pro for creation of dashboards, and free or a cheaper version for viewing of these. Licensing everyone on pro just to look at the dashboards is not going to happen.

This functionality is absolutely necessary. There are 2 kinds of users in an organization. Those who build reports and dashboards and those who consume dashboards. They cannot be treated as the same. This idea cannot be declined.

Hi guys, Was this feature recently added? I read a lot about this problem of a pro user not being able to share a report with a standard user, but i've tried it at my organization and it works fine. Can you please check and confirm, am i missing anything?

Similar to this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/10239816-share-a-pro-dashboard-with-a-standard-user-need

this needs to be looked at - we're a growing company wanting to publish dashboards but we aren't prepared to pay for every user to have a Pro licence to view them

I agree with the previous comments, our organization will not license hundreds of users that simply view reports and will not actually create any for pro simply because the creators need to have a gateway to update data. Please review this Microsoft.

how about 1. charging by per report say 1cents per clicked report 2. do POC on trial for big quantity environment, see the trend of usage. if the growth per click is higher, perhaps can consider raise the fee of the PRO to say double up the subscription to USD240/ annum (???) with unlimited free viewer users

This issue seriously affects the usability of Power BI. It makes no sense that viewers should have a Pro license.

Why was this declined? No way of talking about the pricing scheme?
