We (and many others) would like to be able to have a public URL for any dashboard that is created. This would enable us to share visualizations outside our organization, with partners, etc.

We will think about enabling this. Won't "embedding" in a public site via iframe be sufficient?

RE: Public URL for Dashboards
The Tableau Public Gallery currently offers the ideal with both an embed option and a URL link. The embed option is for a fully functional visualization and not simply a snapshot too.
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
Embedding on some other site would require to have another site, set up a web page each time, create the page with the iFrame. If powerBI is aimed at non web developers this fails the first hurdle
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
Embedding = pita make it easy to share a public read only no account required to view option.
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
Lack of easily sharing with "the world" (even my organization) with a simple URL is a big turn off. Content packs require instructions. Groups require me to manage them which isn't practical for "the world". Email invitations,.. same problem. I just want a simple URL I can give to anyone (even if it's limited to my organization for now) and be confident that they can open it.
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
Embedding would still require the user to login. If we are creating a dashboard for public use, like on our website, we cannot force visitors to have a PowerBI account to see that content.
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
No, embedding won't be sufficient. Why create a new page on a website when it is already available on PowerBI.com?
RE: Public URL for Dashboards
I think that would be sufficient for sure. Is this on the current road map/have an ETA to public release?
