    as1 Hi,

     

    You can check the difference between free licence and pro licence. 

    Power BI Free vs Pro | What's The Difference | Burningsuit

    Free licences can't share Reports or Dashboards with other users, neither can they view Reports or Dashboards shared from other Pro licence users.

    You need at least pro licences to view and share reports, unless your report is on premium capacity, then free users can view it.

    What I mentioned is the use on pbi service, not pbi report server.

     

    Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
    If problem still persists, pls let me know.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi Janey, I have left it with our IT team to sort out.

Why would you need a license to view a report?  You don't for on-prem?
