Hi everyone,
For 3 years I have been publishing reports to web, with collegeaus and other people able to access them without signing. This was a great way to share our dashboards!
Since a few months, I am no longer able to do this and all my new dashboards now need a signin (my old ones are still accesible) is there a way I can still do this? Ideally I publish them to web, but my company also has a website I can embed them in.
Best,
Joren

Hi, @Anonymous
You need to be a Microsoft Power BI user to use Publish to web. Your report viewers don't need to be Power BI users.
The Embed option doesn't automatically permit users to view the report. View permissions are set in the Power BI service. In the Power BI service, you can share embedded reports with users requiring access. So Embed requires a login account to view reports.
It is recommended that you use Publish to web. You, as the publisher, will definitely need to be logged into your account.

This is so weird. I swear that this function didn't work for a few weeks, and now it does again... Maybe my administrator changed a setting... Anyway! Thanks a lot!!
