Sharing dashboards internally

I understand that Microsoft have changed the license structure of Power BI - I find it OK that you need a PRO license to be able to share internally and externally. It must be possible for Microsoft to understand that sharing a dashboard internally is to show some information to other coworkers in the company and this is just for viewing.

 

By adding a PRO license to the dashboard creator for sharing will be a good solution and you could just raise the license fee for a PRO license and then allow free users can view the dashboards.

 

I see a big difference in using the product and all the features and then only viewing the dashboard/report that is created.

 

We have internally built up a 10 KPI dashboards which is updated from one user and before 1st of July everybody could follow the KPI's in the company but now all users need to have a PRO license to be able to do that. Then we end up buying a license for all users to a lot of features that is not being used.

 

Thanks for your understanding and hope the sharing of dashboard will be for free users in the future.

 

Regards

    Hi praevdal,

     

    Here is a similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. :smileyhappy:
