Sharing report/dashboard

I would like to share one PBI file with my team, and make possible for them edit it. Futhermore, I would like to share this same file with the rest of the company, but them can't edit it. Must I have the PBI pro to do those things? Thanks!

@tbmauricio The correct answer is "Yes".

You can publish the PBIX to a Power BI Group Workspace, and the team can be added to have edit rights on the content in the workspace. Then the reports can be shared to a wider audience via the dashboard. This method also allows you to share the dashboard with an AD security Group so you don't have to input every end user. Using a Group Workspace is a "Pro" feature. This also doesn't address the need to refresh data, which depending on your datasource could require a gateway, which is also a Pro feature.

 

The wrong answer:

There are ways to work around the current setup, but I wouldn't bet they work for long. Even then, you would lose the ability to manage the solution in the Service because everything would have to be published to a personal workspace, and that is tied to someone's personal account.
