Default Workspace licensing to Pro
Hi JinsengIT
Default Behavior: Power BI sets workspace licensing based on the creator’s license (Premium Per User defaults to Premium).
Manual Adjustment: Train Premium users to manually select Pro in Advanced Options when creating a workspace if Premium features aren’t needed.
Governance via Admin Portal: Use the Power BI Admin Portal to monitor workspaces and enforce licensing policies.
Automation: Consider using APIs or scripts to audit and adjust workspace settings if needed.
This ensures flexibility while reducing Pro user access issues.

Hi JinsengIT ,
I understand this concern. To simply things, let only Power BI Administrator/Fabric Administrator only create the workspace. Keep the Workspace creation option should be limited to Admin or specific security group. This can be done in the tenant setting.
Since PPU workspace has features not available in Pro workspace, add only the reliable and trained members from PPU license to the specific security group who can create workspace when need be.
As per Microsoft Best practices also it is recommendeds restricting the creation of workspace for all users to improve consistency, use of convention and avoid clutter.
If my post has helped you, please accept this as solution. Appreciate your kudos. 🙂
Thanks,
Pallavi
