Hey Ander ,

 

content that is hosted inside a Premium Per User workspace, can only be consumed by users that have a PPU license.

 

Content hosted in a workspace backed by a Premium capacity like P1 can be consumed by users if they are accessing the workspace directly and if these users have a Pro license assigned. If users accessing content (reports and dashboards) via an App, a free Power BI license is sufficient.

 

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

 

Regards,

Tom

Would you happen to know the answer to my 1st question as well regarding if premium capacity vs premium per user license is needed to refresh dataflows automatically that have transformation suh as merging and calculated columns? When I try to refresh my dataflow it gives me the following error. Will a premium "per user" account allow me to refresh my dataflow that "contains computed tables" so the error in the attached image does not happen?
