Control the quantity of users using the service
Hi MbProg,
Based on my understanding, you purchased a Power BI pro account, and shared this account with many person. Then you wanted to limit this account can be used in specific computer or mobile, right?
In terms of Power BI service, the user can access Power BI Service or not is decided by whether he/she has a Power BI Service free or pro account. If there is a account can access the Power BI Service, everyone knows this account and password can sign in and manage this account's Power BI Service content. Power BI will not check which computer or mobile is the account logged on.
In your scenario, if you worry about someone use this account to modify your reports or dashboards, please change the password of this account to stop other people accessing Power BI Service. In my opinion, one person has his/her own account is good for management. You can ask employers to sign up free accounts or purchase pro accounts. Then IT admins can trace usage of reports and so on: Power BI usage statistics.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

No our intension is to control the amount of users using our Power BI Service. For example:
I create some Power BI Reports and permit another company to use my reports. But just three employees of them. But the company can create a global account and let 20 people use this account to use my reports. I want to prevent them doing this.
