Sharing Powerbi Report via TEAMS

[rjithesh]

Hi

I dint have approval to get powerbi pro to share my report within my org.  I came to know that  through 'chat in teams', we can share the link to TEAMS group. Can we do this without pro licence ?   Whether the visuals/data will be automcatically refreshed in the link shared ?

Hi @rjithesh ,

In general, for Power BI to work in Microsoft Teams, ensure these elements:

• Ensure the Power BI app is enabled in the Teams Admin center apps list.
• Your users with a Power BI (Free) license can access personal analytics including using the built-in Teams analytics report and create reports in their My workspace.
• Your users with Power BI (Free) licenses can also access content shared to them from a workspace that is part of a Power BI Premium capacity (P SKU).
• Your users with a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license can share content with others or build content in workspaces.
• Users will need to sign in within the Power BI app for Teams or the Power BI service to activate their Power BI license.
• Users meet the requirements to use the Power BI tab in Microsoft Teams.

Hi @rjithesh ,

Sharing through Teams is just like sharing through any other methods. The recipient needs a Power BI licence to view the content. In the case where you only have a Pro licence the recipients will also need a Pro licence.

Chat in Teams posts a URL of the report to a Teams channel, anyone who clicks on that URL needs an appropriate Power BI licence to view the content.

hope this helps
