Is there any resolution on this or is there a way to effect a refresh via code? We are hitting the same issue in a project and this could kill in an instant the use of Power BI. There are alternatives that would not cause this problem so I am keen to get this resolved.

ells So far the only way is to upload and design the dashboard from a powerbi free account and share the dashboard through his account and not importing/design with powerbi pro account..Of course need to use only free refreshable features..( not on -prem ,live , only daily refresh )

  I am looking at a multitude of data both on prem and cloud data solutions that will be used together to create dashboards. All I want is for that to be updated daily and viewable by Free license users. You want to share a scheduled dashboard within a global corporation you need to hire someone to refresh the dashboard or pay Pro for every member of that organisation.
  There mustr be a way of accessing and start a manual refresh via code.

    Since you are using on prem data there is no official way to share with Free users..Only way I can think is progamatically update PowerBI desktop ( windows task, powershell ?) in a local copy of onedrive..
