Sharing report with other users
Hi everyone, I'm a little confused about different licenses and I need your help.
If I create a Report in PowerBI Desktop as a PowerBI Pro user, can I share it with my colleagues in the same organization who do not have any powerBI licenses? Are my unlicensed colleagues able to view the report?
Thank you all for support.
Hi filipovski
If you only have a Pro licence and share reports with others they need a Power BI licence to view the reports shared.
Each user needs their own Power BI Pro licence.
If you have a large number (>400) of users who need to view Reports it may be more cost effective to get a Premium Capacity licence that allows free licence holders to view Reports.

Hope this helps
