title: Options for sharing dashboards with sensitive information with PowerBI
body: <p>I have a dashboard I've built using Power BI, that contains sensitive information.  I want to share this dashboard with external users outside of my organization, that do not and will not have PowerBI.</p>
  
  <p>From everything I've read, it appears I have a few options: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The external recipient of the dashboard would need to download Power BI Pro (from my understanding, they won't be able to view my dashboard with anything other than Power BI Pro?)</p></li>
  <li><p>I somehow embed my dashboard in a sharepoint which the external recipients have access to - but from what I've read, this seems likely to fail since they don't have Power BI.</p></li>
  <li><p>I publish dashboard to the web, and have no way to password protect or restrict access.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Are these my only options?  Am I correct in that anyone I wish to share the dashboard with needs Power BI Pro to view, or I need to publish it to the open web and let it be publicly available?</p>
  
  <p>If this is the case.. this is just one more reason I am disenchanted by Power BI.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
