    Hi kattlees,

     

    From above error message, it looks like those recipients have no Pro license. With sharing, whether you share content inside or outside your organization, you need a Power BI Pro license. Your recipients also need Power BI Pro licenses, or the content needs to be in a Premium capacity.

Hi tfgardner

 

We are having the same issue at my organization. Have you found a solution or any work arounds? Our workspace is in Premium so the Pro license should not be required for users to just view the report.

 

Thanks!

We did find some workarounds. First the report must be deployed to a Premium Workspace.  A non Pro (free) user will never be able to get into an App Workspace - even Premium without a Pro license so we must "publish" the report to them in a different place.  The options we have used include Sharing with them from the Premium Workspace.  That will end up placing the report in their Shared with Me folder.  We have also been successful at showing reports deployed to Premium workspaces via Teams.  Finally we have published Apps to allow large groups of free users to see Premium Workspace content.
