Data Limitation for Power BI Pro Embedded report

Hi,

We have single Power BI Pro license.

We are using Power BI embeded report in our application. We are using Azure SQL Server as our data source and we are using single workspace and we have around 50 reports.

There are 500+ users are using this embeded reports. Users may change their report layout and save those as My Report. 

 

PowerBI says there is a data limitation upto 10 GB.

 

Free & Pro accounts
A Free or Pro account provides workspace size limit of 10 GB per workspace, 10 GB per user, and 1 GB size limit per dataset. Let’s try to understand this in a bit of detail.

 

Due to this will there any impact on space or Single PowerBI Pro license will be enough for this.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Madhan

Hi @lwgpowerbiadmin ,

 

Your description of the limitation of data size is right.

By default, workspaces are created on a shared capacity. In shared capacity, workloads run on computational resources shared with other customers. You can check whether the capacity meets your needs by managing storage:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-manage-your-data-storage-in-power-bi 

 

BTW,Power BI Pro is a per user license and is required to both create AND view content. For example, if your organization has 500+ people who need the full capabilities of self-service Power BI to create dashboards and reports, you'll need 500+ Power BI Pro licenses. This will give these 500+ users full access to creation of reports and unlimited consumption (viewing) of any created content.
