The Embed Link for SharePoint (granted currently in preview) is great but as it currently stands only those with Pro licenses can view the embedded report on SharePoint.
We have a Premium node and it would make sense that if an App Workspace has been published to a user with a free Power BI license that they can see it also.
We've paid for a Premium license specifically to be able to share reports across the organisation so why can't we do this embedded on SharePoint also??

The embed link generated from an App Report needs to install the App for a user just like sharing a URL copied from the Update App does.

We want to embed reports for the entire organization but that requires adding 90k+ users to the app and automatically installing it for them.

We've found that premium (non-pro) users can access premium reports in Sharepoint but *only* if they've already accessed it in PowerBI online. This defeats the purpose of the embed. Can we please get this resolved?

Agreed, we also have the same problem, having Premium capacity, embedding into SharePoint Online should be seamless, it's impossible to give access to +6000 users in the Company...
