PowerBI Pro (with Gateway) - Users FREE cannot read?
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...

Thanks, do you have any official documentation? I cannot find it googling.
one or two months ago I suggested the power BI solution to a customer which has around 200 sales agent who only need read-only access to some reports, and they purchased a pack of 10 Pro licenses to start creating content. Now they discover they need an additional 200 Pro licenses.
Not good...

thanks Anonymous this is what I needed to know. I believed that only "reading" a report created using a Gateway would not require a Pro license...
