Hi RajeevMychael1,
The two types of licensing for people viewing reports is either each user having a pro license, or the workspace being attached to an F64 or greater capacity.In your case, the pro license approach would be the most cost effective solution.
I'd recommend purchasing a pro license for all 30 users.

You can purchase the licesne of fabric and your organisation members have normal organisation email id. You can share with them with your Fabric licesne. They can consume your Power BI report. But it's only for viewing purpose.
Please let me knwo if it helps you.
Thank you!!

tayloramy agree with you, and I just want to complete, if you are using artefacts in Microsoft Fabric to leverage analysis and data preparation (notebooks, dataflow gen2, pipelines), you can buy a fabric capacity F2 to start and monitor with the capacity app metrics.
If you are only using Power BI for reporting and want to share with others, you will need at least Licence Pro for creators and consumers of reporting.
Hope it can help you !
Best regards,

Hi RajeevMychael1,
Another potential option would be to use an on prem power bi report server. If your org has SQL Server, then you should be able to install a report server alongside it for no additional licensing.This is more work to set up and manage, but does not have the per user licensing requirement that Fabric does.
Unfortuneately the only way for users to view reports without a pro license is if the report is in a workspace that is attached to an F64 or greater capcaity, which is rather costly.
