Power BI Pro license on SQL Server license
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.
If you purchase a Power BI pro license, I assume it will not be directly associated with the report server user? From my understanding when running report server completely locally there are no way of assigning pro licenses, instead it is up to the users to make sure you have a pro license if you need to publish reports.
