Email subscription with pdf attachment
Hi cherrypham
A PPU user can create a subscription email that contains a PDF of the Report.
That email can be sent to a Pro user and they can see the PDF.
However that email cannot be sent to an email address that has a Free licence or does not have a licence, you'll get the error message "Free users or groups can only be subscribed to reports or dashboards backed by Premium capacity: " when you try and create the subscription, unless the organisation has a Premium Capacity licence and the report is on a Premium Capacity workspace.
I have known some sites set up a subscription to a Pro or PPU user and then have that user set Outlook rules to forward that email on to the other non-licenced users who want to see the Report and that seems to work.
Hope this helps

Burningsuit Do you have any experience using Mail Enabled Security Group to set up for Power BI subscription for other users?
