Free License Users Cannot Create Subscriptions for Themselves in a Fabric Premium Workspace
Hello,
I'm hoping to gain clarification on what I'm currently being told is a feature missing "by design"?
Per this Learn article, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-features#feature-list
Free-licensed users can create report subscriptions for themselves (Pro required to subscribe others).
Currently, our Fabric Free users can click this feature, but will be prompted for a license upgrade.
I have double checked the following to be true:
The capacity of our workspace is a Premium F64 SKU capacity.
All correct settings are set in Tenant Settings to allow for subscription creation.
Users have Viewer roles for the workspace.
However, I've been told that this is a product limitation - it will work on a P1 capacity (phasing out in July 2024 as I understand) as expected, but it will not work on our F64 "equivalent SKU" capacity.
It'd be great if our users could set up subscriptions for themselves, but is this a move to Pro licensing being required for ANY subscription creation moving forward with F-series SKUs?
Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance.

Hi I’m experiencing the same issue , we migrated from PPU to Fabric F64, we decided to skip the Premium Capacity to not have to double migrate te content (MS is saying the P1 wil be replaced bij F64 in the near future).
I got around 300 users who regualy use the subcribe feature, wich is not posible now.
I sure hope this feature is going to be enabeld again for F64.
Hi Bart_Poelert
Can you confirm that subscriptions are allowed to be created This tenant setting might be changed.
Hello GilbertQ,
all the settings i could find in the admin portal regarding subscriptions are enabled for the entire organisation.
to be sure we are on the f64 capacity:
when i try to subcribe to a report with a free license in a fabric workspace the following message is recieved:

I would think that any bugs or issues would be shown here. I don't see anything related to subscriptions.

Hi Bart_Poelert
Can you confirm that you are trying to create the subscription via an app or an app audience and not via the app workspace?
Hello GilbertQ,
in my inital tests i was working from the workspace directly.
Yust tested it with a app from the workspace, created a extra audiance with a user with no rights to the workspace but only to the specific audiance.
and a default audiance wich can be used for workspace users.
in both instances the error remains the same:

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem or has any ideas on where I could get some further information about this issue.
Hello Chirsg272,
I reached out to microsoft last month with a support ticket.
To my understanding the issue is reported as a bug to the development team. And is going to be fixed in the 3th week of July.
Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
Regards
Bart
