Power BI Subscription to AD Group

I currently have a premium per-user capacity workspace.
I'm using a report from this workspace, and I'm trying to subscribe a report to an AD Group; however, I receive the following error message.

"Free users or groups can only be subscribed to reports or dashboards backed by Premium capacity:"

I've tried a Microsoft 365 group, and a security group and both do not work.
I've tested with just one user inside the group, and this user is also a premium per-user licenced individual.
I've checked my tenant settings to see if sending content outside the organisation is ticked and enabled, and I'm still unable to.

Any ideas?

Hi @AUSStevenGalea ,

Pls check license for your user.

Premium capacity differs from Premium per user in that Premium capacity workspaces have reports that are accessible to free users, while PPU workspace reports are accessible only to PPU user.

This is obviously a cloud-related topic and should be moved out of PBI RS subforum
