Using the Power BI Service to replace a Tableau on-premises Web Service
Hi Anonymous
You can know from the link shared by the previous engineer, if you want to share the report with external users, except "Publish to web" and "Export report to PPT/PDF", the rest of the sharing methods require the license of external users . If they have a Pro license themselves, there is no need to assign them. If not, then you need to add them to the organization and assign them a Pro license . You can refer to the case below , about how to assign Power BI Pro to guest users .

You can test drive the embedded option here Power BI Playground
This seems to be the most appropriate solution from a technical perspective.
If you instead use a regular Power BI Premium type scenario then all external users need to have a Pro license.
Thanks.
I am concerned that based on re-developing their reports and actually running an instance, that the costs will outweigh the benefits.
I suppose the only other solution is that the org gives their 3rd parties logins and licences under their own banner.
