Helper IFree account and PPU workspaces
Hello scolvin
A free Power BI account cannot access content in a workspace with Premium Per User (PPU) capacity. Content hosted in a PPU workspace can only be consumed by users who also have a PPU license
In contrast, free accounts can access content stored in workspaces backed by Premium Capacity (Fabric F64 or higher), as long as they are assigned appropriate permissions (e.g., Viewer role)
This distinction arises because Premium Capacity is organization-wide and allows content sharing with users of any license type, whereas PPU is user-specific and requires all users interacting with the workspace to have a PPU license
if this helps , please accept the answer

Helper IHello nilendraFabric ,
Thank you for your answer, but are you sure that hasn't changed recently ?
"Content hosted in a PPU workspace can only be consumed by users who also have a PPU license"
I can open a PPU capacity workspace with a Pro account actually.
