Hey Power BI people!  I see from the FAQ that 

 

"Users of the free service with access to dedicated capacity in Power BI Premium will have the ability to receive content distributed to them by Power BI Pro users"

 

Is that also the case for content distributed by pro users using on-prem analysis services.  In other words, is this also true:

 

Users of the free service with access to dedicated capacity in on-prem Analysis Services will have the ability to receive content distributed to them by Power BI Pro users

 

Thanks,

Derek

    Hey SourceToShare,

     

    Publishing Power BI reports on-premises with Power BI Report Server requires a Power BI Pro license. Additional per user licenses are not required to consume Power BI reports hosted on Power BI Report Server. You can find more information here

      Hi MiguelMartinez.  Thanks for taking a stab at my question.  Sorry, I wasn't clear, although that did answer another question I had.  

       

      Anyway, I'm curious if Pro user content can be shared to a free user if the content is using an live Analysis Services instance on-prem (not a PBI Reporting Server). 

       

      Thanks,

      Derek

        Hi again SourceToShare,

         

        You are more than welcome. We are here to help :D

         

        Now, if I'm understanding your question correctly, a Power BI Pro user would be able to distribute content - including content using Analysis Services - if the content is published to Power BI Premium capacity workspace and share that with a free user that is also part of that Power BI Premium capacity instance.

         

        That was my complicated version of saying yes, you can :)
