    Hi Demi 

     

    For your questions:

     

    1. To use the XMLA end point you need PPU or Premium Capacity to access the XMLA Endpoint.

    2. If you are using PPU licensing then every user who wants to view the reports in the App workspace will also all need PPU licenses. If you are using Premium Capacity then the users will need either Power BI Free license or Power BI Pro license will work too.

     

    If you do not have a lot of users, then you might be better off with PPU.
