Dynamic Subscription
Hi CedricSantos,
According to the documentation, these are the prerequisites:
- A report to share that is saved in a workspace backed by a capacity (Power BI Premium capacity or Microsoft Fabric capacity).
- Build permissions to a Power BI semantic model that contains recipient data. This data includes the email addresses of your recipients and filter values that should be applied for each recipient.
- A Contributor, Member, or Admin role in that workspace. You know that you have the Contributor, Member, or Admin role in a workspace if you're able to edit reports or dashboards in that workspace. Read more about Roles in workspaces.
- The user can't be a guest user. Guest users can't subscribe others and dynamic subscriptions can always bring in "others" through datasets. Therefore, guest users can't create dynamic subscriptions.
Can you double check that the workspace is assigned to the capacity, and that you have at least contributor permissions on the workspace?
If you have a PPU license, the workspace may have been assigned to a PPU capacity instead of the trial capacity.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I have verified all the prerequisites:
The workspace is assigned to a Microsoft Fabric Trial capacity (FT1).
I am the Workspace Admin.
The report and the semantic model are both published in the same Fabric Trial workspace.
I have Build permissions on the semantic model.
I am not a guest user; I am an internal user with a Premium Per User (PPU) license.I have also performed several troubleshooting steps:
Created a brand new Fabric Trial workspace.
Published a completely new report with a new semantic model.
Tested Dynamic Subscriptions using my own email address entered manually (not from the dataset).
Tested from another computer.
Tested using another user account.In every scenario, Dynamic Subscriptions fail immediately with the following error:
"Free users or groups can only subscribe to reports backed by Premium capacity."
Standard subscriptions work correctly in both:
a Fabric Trial workspace
a PPU workspaceOnly Dynamic Subscriptions fail.
Since the issue also occurs with a brand new report and workspace, it does not appear to be related to the report, semantic model, RLS, or recipient dataset.
Could you please verify whether this is a service-side issue, or whether there are any known limitations regarding Dynamic Subscriptions on Microsoft Fabric Trial capacities?
Also, could you verify whether my tenant or Fabric Trial capacity is correctly recognized as Premium-backed for Dynamic Subscriptions?
Hi CedricSantos,
Can you post aa screenshot of the Workspace type tab in Workspace Settings?
Can you also confirm what region your capacity is in?Hi tayloramy
Workspace Type: Microsoft Fabric Trial
Capacity SKU: FT1
Region: North Europe
