gateway

Hello folks,

 

I would like to know if the users of a report that gets data from SSAS cubes (via Gateway) needs to have a pro license themselves to view the content shared as the gateway is a PRO feature? Ofcourse, the end users wont need to have a live refresh or connect to Datasets. My assumption is they wont need a PRO for this. Please confirm if my assumption is right.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

 

Regards,

Raaju

Hi @raasrini,

Agree with Matt. In your scenario, when you share the dashboard, you will get the warning shown in the following screenshot, which indicates that only users that have Pro can view the content.
