Hi! As outlined at https://powerbi.com/dashboards/pricing/ everyone will soon be able to get a license for Power BI for free. You won't be 'wasting' a license on administrators. Thanks!

RE: Administrator should not require a license

From Customer (Precision Drilling):
HI Patrick,

Today I opened a ticket with MS in regards to admin access to PowerBI. In the end it turned out that as an administrator, I cannot admin PowerBI unless I have a license assigned to my account.

This seems very silly to waste a license on all my administrators to purely admin PowerBI.

I had asked the tech to pass this along as an enhancement request, but it does not appear MS has an official way to do this.

So I was hoping you could pass this feedback along to the product team.

Thanks
