Azure SQL Database Dashboards and licenses

Dear Community,

 

We created a database from Dynamics CRM as a Azure SQL database. In order to link an Azure SQL database to power BI we will need a pro license. My question is:

 

Do the end-users of the dashboard created in this manner, need a pro-license to use the dashboards?

 

I have been looking around to find an answer but I could not find anything concrete.

 

Thanks in advance for your time,

 

M. Witting

@Anonymous Yes. The general rule is this: If at any time you use a Pro feature in the creation of a report/dashboard -> All end users that you share that with will also need a Pro license.
