    Yes, you are right, anyone can publish a report on PBIRS. But as per the software agreement, you must have a Pro license even to publish on PBIRS. In your case whoever is the local user, you must purchase him an individual license for Power BI so that he can publish the reports in PBIRS.

Publishing reports to your Production environment requires Pro License.

If you publish Power BI reports to Power BI Report Server, you also need a Power BI Pro license. You don't need a Power BI Pro license to view and interact with Power BI reports on Power BI Report Server.

Is there any way of actually assigning these pro licenses to those specific users?

 

Yes, Thru your Azure AD User Admin portal you can assign Pro licenses to individual users
