It would be nice for me to share reports with my team without the need to PowerBI Pro license.

Right now I have a half dozen beautiful and meaningful reports that I want to share with my teammates but can't, because they don't have PowerBI license.

So, those reports are not so meaningful nor beautiful, if no one can see them.

RE: Share reports to internal users without the need of PowerBI Pro license

Totally agree -- PowerBi is unusable without this functionality. I can't ask an Exec to go ask the help desk for a license (SLA 5+ days) just to view a report.

This is vitally important to make Power BI usable. This request is similar to another that was marked as "complete," but has a lot of comments begging for more functionality.

RE: Share reports to internal users without the need of PowerBI Pro license

This is very much required. And not only from organisation's internal developers' point of view, but also from ISV point of view. ISVs develop reports and want to share with their customers. And these customers only need to consume reports. They do not need any other additional functionality. So that said, pro license are useful for developers, not business consumers.
