Dataflow PPU to apps

Hi

 

I've made some dataflows Gen1 under a ppu license.

 

Can I use this dataflows in reports in apps that are pulished/created in a workspace under a pro license? Will the end user be able to use the content?

Hi @jochendecraene 

 

What I would say is if you are importing the data from the data flow into a semantic model that is less than 1 gig, you can then use a power VR premium per user license because the workspace and semantic model will be using a pro as long as the user who's refreshing has a premium per user license. It should work.

@GilbertQ Yes, that works. But it is the updating part that gives me a headache

Yeah, they certainly can be a headache at times.

Hi @jochendecraene 

 

Dataflows created in PPU workspaces require PPU licenses for access. This means that users who need to interact with or consume content based on these dataflows would also need PPU licenses, not just Pro licenses.

 

A Premium Per User (PPU) license is required to access content in a Premium Per User (PPU) workspace or app

Users without a PPU license cannot view datasets and reports built on datasets that were created in a PPU workspace, even if those reports are published in a non-PPU workspace

Content in a PPU workspace shared using “Publish to Web” is not accessible to unlicensed users
