With the Power BI Pro license you can publish & consume content from workspaces, share dashboards and subscribe to dashboards and reports.

The Power BI Premium service gives organizations greater flexibility to allow users to access, collaborate upon, and distribute content. Let’s take a look at the features of this new offering and the instances in which it could be an appropriate upgrade for your business.
