External sharing stopped for free user
Hi, I am a pro user and i was sharing the power bi dashboard i created in my workspace to external users. Suddently it has stopped working. My external users are not Pro users.
Is sharing completely removed for free users? My customer do not use O365. It was working fine like a week ago.
Hi,
Unfortunately it has been changed and sharing dashboards now requires Pro. Faced the same issue and is pretty annoying.

Hello,
I am having the same problem, I'm looking for June patch notes but I can not find them.
Someone could confirm us if it we cannot share report with FREE User anymore?
Regards
Hi, there are more people experiencing this. It seems like trial versions of Pro has issues when sharing. See for example this link with the comments: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Changes-to-Free-Service-Yesterday-Breaking-Out-of-Tenant-Shared/idi-p/187144/page/2#comments

Users with a pro trial should be able to see externally shared dashboards - but we have an ongoing issue that prevents these dashboards from loading.
We have posted communications in our support site and our engineers are actively working on a resolution.
