License question - Reporting Server with SQL Enterprise Edition - User licensing

We intend to setup a powerbi reporting server to handle our powerbi needs.
We will acquire this license by purchasing an SQL Enterprise Edition Server.
As I understand it, users that wish to publish reports will need a powerbi pro license.
All other viewing users will not require a powerbi pro license.
Can you please verify if this is correct? As I'm expecting a very large number of users, I would not want to get additional costs above to switching to SQL Enterprise.
Thanks

This is correct.  That is how we are using it.

 

Note: You do need both Enterprise and Software Assurance to get the proper license for Report Server.
