License issue with Accessing Out-of-the-Box Power BI Reports in Business Central

(1) ShareShare

Hi Team,
 
I am encountering an issue with accessing the out-of-the-box Power BI reports provided by Microsoft in Business Central. Despite having a valid Power BI Pro license, the system keeps prompting me to provide a Power BI license when attempting to access the reports.

Steps that I have taken to access the reports:

  1. Log in to Business Central with a user account that has a valid Power BI Pro license.
  2. Navigate to the "Reports" section and select any out-of-the-box Power BI report.
  3. Try to access the report.
  4. The system prompts for a Power BI license, even though the user already has a Power BI Pro license (Screenshot attached)

Expected Outcome: 

The user should be able to access and use the out-of-the-box Power BI reports without any further license prompts.

Actual Outcome:

The system continues to prompt for a Power BI license, which prevents access to the reports. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a solution? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
