    Hi, Sylvine_Wyz 

    If you are referring to the content in a Premium Per User (PPU) workspace or app,  it is inevitable that the user need have the PPU license to view it.

    The following table describes who can see which kinds of content with PPU.

    Please refer to this documents for more details.

    For you requirement, you can consider sharing it through publish to web. Although this way of sharing does not consider the user's PowerBI license, there are certain risks in data security.

Hi. I haven't tried premium with externals but let me tell you the theory. If you are talking about Premium capacity, the Viewer users can get access with just Power Bi Free license. That's the idea of the premium. Make sure you are talking about Power Bi Premium and not the new license Power Bi Premium per users (that's a different thing).

Remember you always have the developer option. Purchasing Power Bi Embed and develop a web app to contain Power Bi to share with any external.

Hope this make sense.
P/D I'll ask some user that I know has shared premium with externals to validate this.

Great suggested solution... for a ready-made web app for sharing / assigning users, you could try Binokula.
