Power BI Subscription Service

Hello, dear,

I have a question, when signing a report in power bi service, the PDF attachment is only allowed to be created with the premium license. In this case, if I buy the premium license for this configuration, can the recipient users (pro license) of the subscription see the attachment? Even if it's a premium configuration?

Thanks!

HI @DGFranco77 ,

 

 I think so...I am basing this on this statement I have highlighted in red based on this link (Email subscriptions for reports and dashboards in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn)

 

To create a subscription that includes others, in addition to the requirements necessary to create your own subscriptions, you also need:

  • A Pro or PPU license with 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.

  • To be part of the organization. B2B guest users can't subscribe others only themselves. For more information, read B2B guest users can set up and be subscribed to email subscriptions.

  • If the report or dashboard isn't hosted in a Premium capacity, as indicated by the diamond icon, you can still subscribe others. However, they must also have a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license.

Please let us know the result if you try this out (YOu can test with the PPU license for a month or two just to test).
