May 3 announcement FAQ
Hey joshmwolff,
Users of the free Power BI service will continue to have the ability to use Publish to Web. That means that any reports and embedded codes will still work.
HI.. I currently provide dashboards to a number of free users within our business.. If I become a power user, will I be able to continue to share these dashboards with free users through the publish to Power BI service?
OR will anyone who wishes to see my dashboards within my business also need to have a Power BI subscription??
Or will I need to have a premium subscription which seems to be extremely expensive to service a small group of dashboard users within a single organisation!!!!!!
This change to the free service wreaks of money grabbing!!!
Hi TezzaX,
Beginning June 1 distribution and sharing will be capabilities limited to Power BI Pro users. Equally, consuming content shared by others will also require a Power BI Pro license. You - and other users of the free service within your organization - may be eligible for the extended 12 month free trial of Power BI Pro. Power BI Premium would be another option for you once it becomes generally available later this quarter. You can visit our calculator to explore what might be best for you.
