Subscribing users to dashboard - domain authentication?

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to subscribe a number of our employees to a report on Power BI service.  In subscribing everyone, I get the following error:

 

Free users or groups can only be subscribed to reports or dashboards backed by Premium capacity: 

 

I came across this entry on Microsoft's website:

I THINK i'm running afoul of these authentication rules for subscriptions. Our company (and thus the list of people i'm trying to subscribe) has a number of different domains, what with mergers and acquisition, and people keeping their old emails.  However, Despite the different domains we are in fact all part of the same singular company.  Is there a way to work around this so I can subscribe them without having to go premium, since they aren't at alle external?

Sharing to external and subscription are 2 different services. The highlighted statement is also missing a context, you (a pro users) can share to anyone@fabrikam without premium capacity, but that requires anyone@fabrikam to have a pro license. This is just the basic licensing requirements

 

In conclusion, you cannot subscribe your users (in your current context) without premium capacity.

 

But you can look into a third party tool to do that, there is still a cost, but not premium cost.
