I could certainly see that for some sort of public instance or something like that.  I'm assumeing that we'rd talking in an enterprise context(with SSO and auto-enrolled users) where the competition for an enterprise solution seems to be much more expensive.

People seem to be having difficulty if they haven't ever signed into powerbi.com with their Office 365/org account.  After that, everything is gold (small E5 tenant here).  Is there any way to get around people having to go in and simply sign-in to PowerBI once?  Something that can be set from the admin side or is this a necessary evil?  Right now, if people haven't signed in, they don't even see the web part.... no error, etc.  

 

When it works..... it works well and is easy to setup.

    Thanks for reporting this. We'll definitely look into it. You might try assigning those users Power BI licenses ahead of time (or have you done this already) before they view the web page for the first time.

      @lukaszp -- everyone in our tenant is E5 so aren't those users technically PowerBI Pro users already, therefore, no need to assign licenses?
