Hi Raghav_Singh,

 

Do you mean share dashboard in Power BI service rather than in on-premise Power BI report server? 

 

With sharing a dashboard, you and your recipients need a Power BI Pro license, or the content needs to be in a Premium capacity. As the recipients don't have Power BI account, you can publish the report to web if the report doesn't have sensitive data, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web. Or you can print the dashboard: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-print

 

Best Regards,

    Thanks for the suggestions. We have a premium license. What we're trying to do is distribute dashboards that are customized to client needs, built from a single report.  Can we ask clients to sign up for a free license so we can send them the dashboards instead of a link?

      Hi Raghav_Singh

       

      I need your help, on how to add/invite external users who are not part of our domain to use Power BI dashboards?
