Advocate IIPremium Subscription - End Users Prompted for Free Trail
We have a premium subscription and when sharing reports to internal users that do not have a Pro License they recieve a prompt to establish a free trial. I was under the impression that a report within a premium workspace should be able to to be shared out to end users despite having a Pro License and not be required to signup for a free trial.
It is how the security and permission management works. Power BI needs to authenticate the viewer to check if the viewer actually have permission, and that requires the viewer to have an account with Power BI via having a license.
If reports are in Premium workspace > report viewer can create an account with Power BI Free license
If not in Premium > report viewers need a pro account
"Free Trial" could be referring for Pro and PPU license. But having Power BI Free license doesnt cost anything.
Not adding report viewers to Workspace is a good practise, allow you to separate the developers and the viewer environments.

Do you have a premium capacity or are you using a Premium Per User (PPU) license?
TSHECKELWe have a premium (P1) capacity and subsciption. The reports we're sharing reside within a premium workspace within the capacity. Thanks

OK, then your impression is correct. The end-users don't need a per-user license.
However, as mentioned here, make sure you're sharing via an App, not a Workspace.
