Sharing to a Customer - Pro Premium or do I need Embedded
Hi DBlinder,
Yes, you are right when you activate the Fabric Trial (FT1), it gives you temporary access to Premium capacity (F64 level), which is why your external users can view the reports without needing a Pro license. That’s expected behavior and is mentioned in Microsoft docs too.
So long as your reports are in a Premium workspace, and users are either in your org or added as guests (via Entra B2B), they can view it using just a Free Power BI license.
But once the trial ends, you will need to either:
Go for F64 (Premium) gives full sharing power but is expensive.
Use Power BI Embedded (A SKUs) cheaper (~$750/month) but needs dev setup.
Add external users as guests and share via Premium workspace Free license works here too.
Hope this helps if you have any queries we are happy to assist you further.
