Power Bi Premium Questions

Dear Experts,

Since i am a beginner, i had the some confusions and microsoft white papers confuses me.

 

i have few questions. Lets take the scenario of a company who newly bought premium (without taking any pro user)

 

Question 1. Report developers need to have pro licesne despite having premium assigned?

 

Question 2. Report viewers dont need pro license since they only need to view the report? (where they can view the report in on premise-workspace?)

 

Question 3. If viewers want their reports to be sent through email (subsribing reports to email) they need to have pro user? / how reports can be shared to report viewers? either take pro license (for sharing and subscribing) or view in premium workspace?

 

Question 4. If report developers having pro user creates a dashboard (puts in premiun workspace if possibe), can the viewers see the dashboard for free or they have to be pro user?

 

Questions 5. Despite having premium assigned. All users needs to have pro license in order to access power bi service?

 

i hope the above questions are clear and waiting for your answers.

 

Thanks alot

Question 1: Yes

Question 2: Yes if the workspace is set to premium capacity they will just see it if shared with them

Question 3: I believe that is correct but will need to verify

Question 4: Yes, they can see it if shared with them

Question 5: No
