Is the requirement that consumers of the web part have a Power BI Pro license only during the preview or is this going to be a requirement at GA as well? This is a simple question, I need a simple answer.

In SharePoint Online, Power BI web part consumers and authors need a Power BI Pro license. Hope that's simple enough.

    How convienent, you won't allow us to embed private data which is shareable via dashboards for free. Then to embedd within our own SharePoint online space your require Pro for those users.

     

    I can't purchase 500 licenses of Pro, make the authors have it something, but not consumers.  We can't implement with these restrictions.

      Agreed,  This is too limiting.

      Agreed.  This policy is too restrictive.   One Microsoft person told me when complaining before that eventually the embedding might be availble at a non-pro level for non-pro users, and then would only be blocked if the user was a non-pro usesr accessing a dashboard which used pro features.

       

      Requiring this might be acceptable, but always requiring a Pro license, with the added per-user cost of a pro license, is too expensive.

    I have a few questions:

    1. Are users able to export to Excel as they would with the Power BI.com service?

    2. As it relates to filters are users able to use the search functionality?

    That's outrageous!

    I've just upgraded to a couple of Pro licences so that we can share securely by embedding into SP sites, only to find out that that's still not enough.

     

    So my choices are:

    Use the Publish to Web option and risk somebody posting it to social media in just a couple of clicks.

     

    Or

    Pay extra to publish MY data securely, only for the consumers to still not be able to view it!!!

     

    Whats the point of the Pro Licence if it still doesn't close the Governance back door? - Absolute joke.

    I agree with jimbobTX and his Herion dealer style licencing comment.
