Needs some clarification on Premium "Perks"

[Tagoad]

"Ability to share Power BI content with anyone (even outside your organization) without purchasing a per-user license"

What does this mean exactly? I was probably a little hopeful and thought it meant that if we had a premium user we didn't need pro licenses for the people that view our report, which isn't the case. I then figured it meant the actual share function, but when i shared a paginated report with my personal office account it said i needed a premium license to view it, so there must be some limitations to this statement that aren't clearly stated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Tagoad ,

The first rule of thumb is "if you want to see a report, you have to have a license."  That isn't anything official, just my saying.  

Premium licensing is a monthly subscription that allows you to create Premium Workspaces and to share reports with anybody you would like to - regardless of their licensing status.  Basically, you are providing the license because you have Premium.

PPU - Premium Per User is basically a bunch of  Premium capabilities but not the ability to share with anybody.  But, PPU does not mean you get to share with just anybody - that is what Premium is for.

Ok, so Premium is different than Premium Per User. Thats where my train of thought went wrong, i thought they were the same thing just billed differently.
