wynhopkins,

Firstly, content pack is deprecated, which is replaced by Power BI apps.

Secondly, do you create the content pack in a app workspace or "My workspace"?

Thirdly,  you publish the content pack to a specific group that the user belongs to, right? If so, when you share the Excel file to the user, does the user use your Power BI account or his own Power BI account to connect to the dataset in Power BI Service?

Reagrds,

Hi, I thought apps were still in preview given some of the limitations that have not been implemented yet (e.g. Can't select elements to share in a workspace so have to share all or nothing?)

I set up the content pack in an app workspace, the user does have a free power bi account

    wynhopkins,

    I am not able to reproduce your issue. When you share the dashboard to your users, please verify that if the free users can view the dashboard contents. And please check if the free users can import content pack to their own workspace.

    By the way, do you purchase Power BI Premium in your organization?

    Regards,

      Hi 

       

      Free users cannot view the dashboards in Power BI Service,

       

      The organisation does not have Power BI Premium.

       

      Thanks for your assistance, I'm happy that it is working the way it is.

        wynhopkins,

        I test the sceanrio as yours, when I share the Excel file to free user, the RLS will not work. And the free user is not able to get content pack in his workspace or view the dashboard I share to him.

        Regards,
