Power BI Embedded external sharing, users required to have Pro license (not according doc?)

Dear community and MS,   I have been struggling with this for a while now and kind of given up, cause I feel I am being contradicted between what I read in the documentation and what I experience. ...

Hi again aj1973 ,

 

No license, thats the point I am looking to avoid.

 

The users are added as guests in the AAD and allocated the appropriate workspace/group.

 

They can access the reportage when embedded on sharepoint, but doesn't work for shared report or shared app, then it asks for the user to upgrade to Pro, which I from the dokumentation understand is "not necessary".

Did you add the users to the Workspace as Viewers?

    As viewers not members yes.

        Hi aj1973 ,

         

        You might be on to something, I have checked the tenant settings and they should be set in the correct manner, see below:

         

        The users should not be able to edit or manage content, and only appear as viewers, i.e. also enabling the feature to share content with non-power bi users and avoid Pro license requirements etc.

         

        The other place they mention is the AAD user settings, mine is setup as follows, I can't spot anything out of the ordinary and that might conflict my needs?
