App vs User Owns Data
So I know the biggest difference between the two is that with User Owns Data (UOD) the user needs to log-in to their Power BI account and then they can only see the reports that they made or the ones that are shared with them. But are there any differences functionalty wise? And with UOD you don't have to use a embedToken so would I still need to order capacity while using UOD?

The main difference is
- User Owns Data sample is for Embedding for your organization, the embedded reports readers can be Power BI Pro or free users in your orginaztion. Users have to log-in with their PBI account. Power BI Premium licese is required.
- App Owns Data sample is for Embedding for your customers, the embedded report readers can be your own customers(say you're an ISV application provider). So no log-in. Power BI Embedded license is required.

Thanks for your reply Eric_Zhang!
Power BI Premium is a required for UOD? You can make use of the shared capacity, right?

I too would also like to know this for UserOwnsData side. I understand the licensing and usage of AppOwnsData well, just not used UOD.
