Providing Access to Power BI Reports for Non-UW Accounts

At the University of Washington (UW), Power BI Pro is included as part of the UW Microsoft Advanced and Student service levels. However, Power BI Pro requires all report authors and consumers to be individually licensed. This means that non-UW accounts cannot access Power BI reports directly.

To provide access to Power BI reports for non-UW accounts, you can use Power BI Desktop, a free desktop app required for data analysis, modeling, and design. You can also create a Power BI Workspace, which houses data models, reports, connectors, etc., and share it with non-UW accounts.

Power BI is part of the Microsoft Power Platform, offering data warehouse capabilities including data preparation, data discovery, and interactive dashboards. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence (BI) capabilities, including cloud-based BI services known as “Power BI Services”, along with a desktop-based interface called “Power BI Desktop”.

For non-UW accounts to access Power BI reports, you will need to create a shared workspace or use other productivity platforms such as Mover.io or ShareGate to export data from Google to Microsoft. Alternatively, you can also use alternatives to UW Google for shared UW NetIDs.

It is worth noting that if you are experiencing issues with editing on a Mac, you may want to check the error message and troubleshoot any potential issues.

In summary, providing access to Power BI reports for non-UW accounts requires careful planning and setup. By using Power BI Desktop, creating a shared workspace, or using other productivity platforms, you can ensure that non-UW accounts have access to the data they need.
