MicrosoftAnnouncing Power BI Web Part Preview for SharePoint
We're thrilled to announce the release of the Power BI web part preview for SharePoint Online. Learn more and join the discussion on our blog post!
Power BI reports added to a modern SharePoint page
Sometimes yes...
I may only share my experience - on the picture is SPO site, not Group. I'm on First Release, have Power BI Pro license, and able to add Power BI web part. That's all what i can do - current implementation requires everyone in tenant to be on First Release. Other words, i'can't add any content to web part.
- I expect that the requirement for everyone that needs to View the web part to have a Pro license will have a negative impact on adoption.
- You guys have ruined this web part by requiring Power BI Pro. Just how much money do you want to milk from my organization? Ohh All of it!!!

Seeikng a lot of discussion over here too - I'd also encourage you to jong the dialog on the blog post annouced above. Lukasz Pawlowski
As you have observed, integrating reports is a function of the Power BI Pro license, not the free version, that's confirmed.

Furthermore, there are some capabilities in SharePoint, like a modern page, that can be turned on and off on a user by user basis. Many of these use client side rendering and are good candidates for features that can be deplyed early using First Release People. However, there are other parts of the service that require service-level configuration, and the back-end configuration for process-to-process communication and security requires that all users in the tenant are enabled for this feature for it to be effective. We continue to refine the ways we can provide early access to code and features for testing as flexibly as possible, so we'd encourage you to consider either First Release tenantwide, or getting a trail tenant for testing that can be used in First Release Tenant mode.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for sharing, long awaited functionality.
Unfortunatelly was not able to play with it - Power BI web part in continious loop with the message
"We need you to sign in again. Once you do, we'll bring you back here." We are on hybrid environment with ADFS.
Okay, found what entire tenant shall be on First Release, not only the people who publish and consume this web part. Not possible in my case...
Does this require that I use Groups in SPO??? We don't want groups and have turned them off.
Will it work on a standard SPO Team Silte/Library with the new experience turned on?? We are on First Release but I don't see the option to add Power BI
My guess the only requirement here are modern pages, in Groups or on Team site.
and Power BI Pro licenses for everyone at an extra $10 a pop... REDICULOUS...
Lukasz PawlowskiYou don't need to use a Group, but it will require that you share the reports with appropriate AAD security groups to ensure everyone has access to the report. This might become harder to manage long term - Office 365 Groups also allow you to co-own Power BI content among users. By not using Office 365 Groups you run the risk of losing access to those reports if the person who owns them leaves your organization.
- Can you also clarify why a Power BI Pro license is required to get this webpart? It does not make any sense to me as other has said in the thread
I echo the feelings about requiring Power BI Pro licences but we also restrict the New experiece to team work areas of SharePoint. The Intranet site is fully branded and in classic mode and will be for some time. We have lots of clients wanting a simple Power BI webpart on the Intranet home page to publish Sales, Performance, H&S report, often just one simple chart and we were hoping this would be perfect.

Lots of energy also happening here. For the most visibility, I'd encourage you to share your thoughts on the blog post itself, instead of this pointer announcement.
We are aware there are many opinions about how the Power BI Web Part Preview has been rolled out for modern sites and for Power BI Pro and are discussing these questions throughout our internal teams. Stay tuned.
Hey Chris McNulty the comments on that thread have been closed and I'm working with a client that's very upset about having to purchase Power BI Pro licenses to leverage the Web Part. Presenting dashboards from SharePoint feels like a very logical step in the "digital workplace" and it's available with other visualization tools without the same overhead. What could have been a slam dunk to help boost adoption is becoming a thorn in my side.
Good Post.
I know power BI are avaliable in sharepoint online. Is Power BI avaliable in SharePoint 2016?
