Internal Users Cannot Access Dashboard
A free license will unfornuatately not suffice, all secure sharing requires a paid license of sorts. I'm guessing the error they get is that they are not properly licensed, so yes, I think a pro license would fix it. Try giving one user a pro license and see if that fixes the issue (you definately wont be able to share reports to non-licensed users under any circumstance other than sharing it as a public link (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web)).
So a requirement for sharing content is:
- Users need a Pro license
- Using Premium capacity (expensive)
- Or other dedicated capacity (e.g. A or EM sku)
Option 2 or 3 is only relevant if you have many users and option 3 will require some extra setup (and only relevant from around 50 users and upwards).
Hope that helps
