Thanks for your answer. Currently we are using our interal Sharepoint via our Office365. We bought the Pro licenses so we could use the Web Part in Sharepoint which worked well however we were not able to select filters automatically via the webpart. We are using Project Online via our Sharepoint which we have purchaed user licenses for and works well. The Power BI report gets the data from Project Online database via oData as per the Microsoft examples. We decided to use the API instead becuase it allows us to send the filters to the report via Sharepoint. All of the data is for internal use and on internal environments. Licenses have been purchased for all users.

 

Based on your comments fo you believe we should be on User Owns Data instead?

    Hi azulcore,

     

    Since all users have licenses (I presume they are Pro), the "User Owns Data" could be the best choice. The simple reason why the "App Owns Data" needs Capacity is one account handles all the accesses. Which mode did you use in your current test?

     

    Best Regards,
