Advocate IPro License for just reading access?
Hello, I want to share my dashboard with collueges who don´t have a pro license. They should be able to read my dashboard an all the changes, which will be automatically generated. Is it necassary to have a pro license for that? I read something about a viewer role, coming up in May. But it is not clear whether a pro license is necessary or not.
Thank you a lot for help.
MoKi The short answer is "yes, they need a Pro license"
If you want co-workers to use the Power BI Service to see the content that you created then everyone needs to be covered by a license regardless of whether they are creating or viewing content.
As you scale or use Power BI for other options then there are different tiers or ways to license the product that would cover people but I don't want to confuse the issue.
