    Hi KRISHI02 ,

     

    If you publish any reports on power bi pro workspace/my_workspace then every viewer needs a pro license.

    If you publish any report on premium capacity workspace then viewers don't need a pro license.

    If you publish any report on premium per user workspace then viewers need a ppu license.

     

    If your users have a Microsoft E5 license then pro license is not required.

     

     

    I hope it will be helpful.

     

    Thanks,

    Sai Teja

Hey,

 

the answer is simple: this is the licensing model.

 

There is only one moment, when users can access content with a free Power BI license assigned:

  • users are accessing the report via a Power BI App
  • the workspace that hosts the report is backed by Power BI Premium capacity or a Fabric capacity >= F64.

Regards,

Tom
