    Hi sugra ,

    A user with Viewer role in a Premium workspace does not need a Pro License to see the workspace/reports shared with them.   As it stands right now, only Members and Admins can share/reshare (based on permissions within the tenant and the share type that was shared with them.)

     

    I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

sugra,

Let's get things straight first:
- the Viewer role is assigned to a user in a workspace (so this can't be used in My Workspace)
- sharing from My Workspace is not a best practice and thus not recommended

Having said that, Viewers can only view and interact with items in a workspace, not reshare them. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-new-workspaces#roles-in-the-new-workspaces).
Sharing from a workspace requires a pro license unfortunately.
