Viewers access without Pro license

Hi all, 

 

I have enquries on power BI dashboard, 

 

My company is a small organization below 50 person, and for now I'm the one incharge of publishing reports with my colleagues, everyone in my company have a basic free power bi license. 

 

1) We have only one Pro License that is for me as I am the developer. For now I tested for pro trial to shared power bi report to everyone. When I shared a dashboard, other user can request for access but after I granted access to them, they can view the report but there's a message saying 60 days power bi pro  trial. Is there a way for me to keep sharing dashboard for other staff to atleast view the dashboard without buying pro license?

No, if you have Pro they also need Pro

Otherwise you need a whole Premium or Embedded capacity to share with free users.

 

Alternatively you could Publish to Web which makes your data public though and I am sure you do not want that.

In the end you will have to pay for Power BI somehow. Pro licenses are not that expensive...
