    Hi Nishan029 

     

    A Fabric user is someone that has access to a Fabric workspace. This is a more modern workspace that has all the bells and whistles of the Power BI Premium (legacy) workspace and much more. The legacy workspace is already being phased out (Jan 1 2025) and most newer capacities are Fabric by default.

    As stated in your screenshot "Extra capabilities when workspace is in Premium capacity". The workspace must have a diamond icon for any free users to be able to consume reports being shared to them.
