Power BI Report Server or Shared Workspace in Federal Clouds (GCC, GCCH, DoD)

[LAAatBLS]

Hello, Federal Power BI Admins, Designers, and Users,

Are you sharing PBI reports with other users in your organization via a shared cloud workspace or on-premise report server in the GCC or other Federal clouds?

I would love to hear what you had to purchase outside of your Federal cloud setup.  To put it another way, did you just have to buy a PBI Premium license for one designer/publisher or a tenant Premium site license to share with other consumers/users?

TIA for any timely information.

Hi @LAAatBLS ,

For sharing Power BI reports, each user who needs to consume the reports must be assigned either a Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) license.

If your organization opts for Power BI Premium (capacity-based licensing), you can share reports with users without requiring them to have a Pro or PPU license, as long as the content is published to a Premium capacity workspace. However, access to the admin portal and the ability to publish content still requires a Pro or PPU license.

Power BI Report Server: If your organization prioritizes data governance and needs to keep the reports on-premises, Power BI Report Server is a viable option.

Shared Cloud Workspace: For a more collaborative environment, using Power BI Service with a Pro or PPU license in a federal cloud setup allows for efficient sharing and collaboration.

Thank you, Xianda,

So, regarding the Shared Cloud Workspace, can one share Power BI reports via an app/dashboard and only a Pro license?  If any guidance exists for this scenario on the interweb, can you please post the link?
