Hello,
Probably this topic already exists in the Community, but I haven't been able to form a real opinion about it. Hope some of you know the answer.
Imagine the case of a company with 20 employees. There is a single Pro Power BI entreprise license that is shared between all these users. Questions:
- Is there a maximum number of concurrent users that can be logged in the system? Or will some of them get an access error?
- How the filters of the dashboard will behave? I mean: if user 1 applies one filter, and user 2 (logged in simultaneously) applies another filter, is the report able to execute the 2 filterings without any interference (remember, in both cases the same account is used)?
What licence purchasing would you advice for this situation, in which a 20-employee company wants a single Pro license to be shared between all of them, but at the same time wants the reports to be used individually by all 20 of them? If someone encountered this situation, I'd really appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
There's no concept of concurrent Power BI Pro users, these are individual licenses so each of your users will need their own license:

Yes, 20 users and 20 Pro-licenses.
Using same ID by different users is a security breach itself which may work but will not be supported
