Free user (backed by Premium) Does not see Workspaces shared with him, in Mobile App

Hi all,

 

I've got an issue with a Free user (backed by Premium) who is able to use the Mobile App of Power BI. He has been granted access to several Workspaces as a Viewer.

Within the Mobile App, however, he only sees 'My Workspace' and does not have the dropdown option to go through all the Workspaces shared with him. Strangely, he does see all the reports and dashboards in the 'Shared with me' Tab. 

Does anybody understands what is going on here? It would be nice to see this dropdown choice for him. 

 

Regards

Hey @FlorisvLieshout ,

 

Free users are able to view and access content shared with them from a workspace in the “Shared with me” page.

This is true also for cases that the user was added to the workspace as viewer.

In general, in the current design free users do not have Workspace page in the app.

Hi @FlorisvLieshout,

Did this workspace mange in premium capacity?
As the official document mentioned, the group workspaces are pro features. If you not have a Pro license and these workspaces not assigned into premium capacity. These workspaces will also require pro licenses to access and the users can only view shared contents in the 'shared with me' tab instead of direct access to correspond workspaces.

Power BI service features by license type

Hey @FlorisvLieshout ,

 

From the latest release of Power BI Mobile app, free users who have access (viewer role) to workspaces will have direct access to the workspaces from the app navigation at the bottom of the screen.

This should make it easier for users to find and access the conent in workspaces.

 

Thanks, Maya
