Resolver IPowerBI Pro (with Gateway) - Users FREE cannot read?
I have created a Power BI Report with automatic refresh from a Data Gateway using my PRO License
I was expecting users of the FREE Power BI at least to be able to see the report, but Instead they receive an error message stating they need a PRO license since the report uses some PRO features...
Is this correct?
Should I have many PRO licenses just to see reports created with the PRO license??
Hi,
This has actually nothing to do with the May update.
Using a Gateway has since long been seen as PRO-feature by Microsoft and as soon as a report/dashboard is using any kind of PRO-feature all viewers of that report also requires a PRO-license.
And when it comes to the change that will take place on June 1st, any kind of sharing (or viewing a shared content) will require a PRO-license...
