Hi @v-karpurapud ,

Is it possible for you to share documentation which says it requires F64 capacity and so on?

Hi @Srisakthi 

Unfortunately, there is no official documentation explicitly stating that cross-tenant data sharing requires Fabric F64 capacity at both the producer and consumer ends. The key requirement is that both the producer and consumer tenants must have sufficient capacity to handle the data transfer.

While F64 capacity in Fabric is designed for handling large data workloads and might be necessary for heavy or large-scale data sharing and analytics, it is not a strict requirement for cross-tenant data sharing. The necessity of F64 capacity depends more on the specific workload requirements rather than a mandatory setup for tenants.

Hi @pallavi_r  ,

Even in the screenshot it is not saying it requires F64 at producer side. If possible can you share some reference link

Hi @Srisakthi ,

Sorry my bad, I did not make this point clear. There are 2 type of items in Fabric- i)Power BI content and ii)non Power BI fabric contents.

You can share 'non Power BI fabric' items externally across tenants without F64 SKU license.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/governance/external-data-sharing-overview#supported-fabric-...

For 'Power BI' fabric content - dashboard, report, semantic model, you would require F64 SKU and one power bi pro license minimum.

If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.

Thanks,

Hi @Srisakthi 

There are 2 tenant settings. 

Producer:

The below setting needs to be enabled for Producer Tenant. Yes, Producer Tenant need to have F64 SKU to share data externally.

Consumer:

The below setting needs to be enabled at consumer tenant . Consumer Tenant does not require F64 SKU to accept the external data.

If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.

Thanks,

Interesting finding @pallavi_r 

I am not able to find this anywhere in docs

@Srisakthi please ignore my answer then.

Thanks

Hi @Srisakthi 

you do not specifically need an F64 capacity to enable cross-tenant data sharing in Microsoft Fabric. Cross-tenant data sharing is supported through the Fabric-to-Fabric authentication mechanism and does not require a specific capacity size like F64. However, having a Fabric capacity (F-series or P-series) is generally necessary for using Microsoft Fabric features, including external data sharing, but smaller SKUs or even trial capacities can suffice depending on your organization's needs.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/governance/external-data-sharing-overview

No where MS is talking about F64 in data sharing part.

Thanks

Hi @nilendraFabric ,

Thanks for you prompt reply. But nowhere it is mentioned for trial capacities as well. So wondering whether trial capacity suffice for external data sharing?

Hi @Srisakthi ,

Yes, this will work on trial F64 capacity. So its worth trying as mentioned by @nilendraFabric . Just the two settings need to be enabled in Tenant Admin Portal for producer and consumer tenant.

Thanks,

Hello @Srisakthi 

Trial capacity are  limited version of F64 behind the scene , so it should suffice.Worth trying though.

Thanks
