Non licensed users cannot access report
- 6 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
GilbertQ had post the right answer, as an addition , It is also mentioned in this official document:
For app consumers, there are two options.
- Option 1 The workspace for this app is not in a Power BI Premium capacity: All business users need Power BI Pro licenses to view your app.
- Option 2 The workspace for this app is in a Power BI Premium capacity: Business users without Power BI Pro licenses in your organization can view app content. However, they can't copy the reports, or create reports based on the underlying datasets. Read What is Power BI Premium? for details.
But there are is a share feature Publish to web which has many limitations you should consider.
When you use Publish to web, anyone on the Internet can view your published report or visual. This requires no authentication and includes viewing detail level data your reports aggregate. Before publishing a report, make sure it is okay for you to share the data and visualizations publicly. Do not publish confidential or proprietary information. If in doubt, check your organization's policies before publishing.

The current Power BI Licensing means that anyone whom you want to share dashboards and reports with either needs a Power BI Pro license. Or the App Workspace needs to be hosted on Power BI Premium, which will then allow free Power BI Users to access the contents.
