Helper IIISharing Reports within Organization to Non Pro Users
HI alisonpappas ,
Maybe this is just semantics but to clarify this a bit - the download for Power BI to desktop is free. If that is what you mean by "free" then the answer is no. To view and interact with a shared report on the Service (or Report Server) they must have a PRO license (it can be the trial or assigned).
This document might help with the difference between the licensing options:

And this for Premium vs PRO:

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!

if they recieve a free license (which they do) and i share, even though it says they need a PRO (below) they will be able to see it and interact? or do i have to share this another way?
