Refreshed Report for end users
Hi. Let me explain you. The report on power bi service is the same for any user that can see it. If you configure a gateway and schedule refresh it everyone with access to that report will have the data updated.
The option of sharing in power bi is for pro users. The user that share and the one that receive the sharing both have to be pro users.
As a suggestion you should use an onpremise data gateway. The difference with the personal is that it runs a service in windows that is more stable than an app.
Once you have share with the other user, you can copy the link in your url and send it. There is another way to create a link called "Publish to Web", but this options will release to public internet your data (this is not recommended for critical data). That second option is public for everyone and won't request for pro user.

No. In order to get the users access to power bi service you need to share with them the report or dashboard first or add the people to the workspace with the appropiate role (that is something you do just one time). Then you can suscribe them on email. Otherwise they will receive the mail but won't be able to access the site.
