Sharing reports to organization and external users
Anonymous Well... Technically your question is about licensing. I see the following options.
1) Pro for every user - this includes external (10/mo)
2) Pro for you + Premium - Free for all end users. Will support external sharing via B2B in near future (1 Pro license + (5k/mo))
3) Pro for you + Premium Embedded (This requires that you have a supported platform like SharePoint Online for easy embedding, or have an application that you would have/build so internal and external users can see the reports outside of Power BI (1 Pro license + (625/mo))
4) Run this on premises in Power BI Report Server. (1Pro license + Premium or SQL EE+SA)
With all the changes to licensing, there is no longer any secure way to share content outside of purchasing a license that supports it.

Hi Anonymous,
I am in a similar situation to OP with wanting to share Power BI reports and dashboards both internally and externally. I am new to Power BI so have been using the free license to learn with, and understand I will need to upgrade for sharing capability. I will also be the only one 'using' Power BI - I generate the reports and then distribute for viewing only.
Are the 4 options above still relevant and are these the best ways for sharing? Using these, it looks like we should get premium capacity + a pro license for me, so we could share internally through our SharePoint and externally via B2B. I want to have a clear picture of the sharing methods and what will work best for us prior to selecting our license upgrade.
Thankyou!
