Hello, for the last several months we have had one user who has Power BI Pro, who was gathering and organizing data. He would then publish a report/graphs to our Sharepoint home page. He updated this about once a day, and it has worked flawlessly. Now, a week ago, we added another report for tracking some information entered into a Microsoft Forms on the Sharepoint site, and he would then update a graph based on that data. Again that has worked the last serveral days. All veiewers have the basic Power BI Free license, and have never had an issue utilizing the graphs/reports as displayed.
Now last night, both reports/graphs have stopped working, and are prompting users to upgrade their licensing. I have done some digging into this, and the only thing I can find is that to publish reports that free users can see, the user generating them needs ot have a premium license. I am not against upgrading him, but I am confused as to why these reports have been working without issue for the last several months, and now have started asking to upgrade our licensing.
Any guidence or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @bhalsne
As far as I know the licensing for using SharePoint with Power BI reports has always been that the report consumers would also need a Power BI Pro license. Maybe this was a bug from the Power BI team.
Here are the details below: Integrate Power BI reports in SharePoint Online | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
Also if your reports are in a Premium Capacity workspace then it should work with Power BI Free license.
