Clarification on RLS with free user

Hello everyone,

 

I've come across several threads discussing topics similar to my query, but the advice seems to vary.

Here's my scenario: I aim to design a dashboard intended for 50 distinct email addresses within my organization. Each recipient will have unique Row Level Security.

 

My queries:

  • As a Pro user, is it mandatory for each recipient to possess a Pro license to access the shared dashboard?

  • If a license is a prerequisite for accessing PowerBI, can the dashboard be dispatched as a PDF or image for users without a license?

Appreciate the guidance!

    Hi deewey78 ,

     

    You are right. 

    1.With sharing, whether you share content inside or outside your organization, you need a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license.

    Your recipients also need Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) licenses, unless the content is in a Premium capacity.

    2.Reports can be exported to pdf for distribution to users without a license. Please note that there are some limitations to exporting reports to pdf.

     

    Please refer to the following documents for more information.

    Export reports to PDF - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Sharing dashboard - Pro user to free users - Microsoft Fabric Community
