How to Share Power BI Content with Others

Are you looking for ways to securely share your Power BI content with others? Look no further! In this article, we'll explore the different options available to you, including embedding your content in SharePoint Online and publishing it to a Power BI App.

Embedding Your Content in SharePoint Online

If you want to embed your Power BI content in a website or portal, you can do so by getting a link from the 'File' menu in Power BI. This link is optimized for use in SharePoint Online and will only be accessible to those who have been granted access to it via the App.

Publishing Your Content to a Power BI App

Another way to share your Power BI content with others is to publish it to an App. This allows you to create a workspace where you can collaborate with others and share your reports or dashboards. All staff members have access to view Power BI Apps, but only users with a Pro License have access to workspaces.

Using Power BI Desktop

If you've created content in Power BI Desktop, you'll need to initially publish it to the Office 365 Power BI service before publishing it to an App workspace. Power BI has distinct steps for publishing your content and making it available to others.

Power BI on Mac

It's worth noting that Power BI does not have a Mac compatible desktop application, but Mac users can still use Power BI in their web browser. However, if you're creating reports to distribute and share, it's recommended that you connect to data sources, build your data model, and design your visualizations in Power BI Desktop.

In conclusion, there are several ways to securely share your Power BI content with others. Whether you choose to embed it in SharePoint Online or publish it to a Power BI App, these options allow you to control who has access to your content and ensure that only authorized users can view it.
