Sharing a report on intranet

Hi  PhMeDie  ,
What you are currently opening is Publish to web. When your data does not contain sensitive data, you can use this. Everyone who has the report link or embed code can view the report without restrictio.

The interface of Website or portal is like this, you can easily and securely embed the report in the internal web portal, and the website or portal has better protection for data privacy, because no matter whether the user opens the report URL directly, or the user is on the Web The URL embedded in the portal and report access need to be authenticated, and only authorized users can open it.

The difference between the two is:

Website or porta, both the publisher and the recipient need Pro permissions or the report must be located in the workspace of the Power BI Premium capacity. Publish to web, both the publisher and the receiver do not need Pro permissions.

Website or porta, the recipient needs to pass the request permission, and the publisher can only pass it after granting the permission. Publish to web does not require a request, just view it directly on the URL.

Website or porta, supports Live Connection, RLS, and cross-work area data sets. And Publish to web does not support.

Based on your situation, it is recommended that you use the option Website or porta. In addition, you said that your report is in a workspace with dedicated capacity. Just like collinq said, you need to let all users register a PBI account and only need a free license, no need to purchase additional license.

Best Regards,
