Free users can't see report with RLS although workspace is Premium
In order to use Free Users you have to let the users access the reports via an App which is on Premium Capacity.
Once that is confirmed the RLS should then work as expected via the App
Community SupportHow do you share reports to the free users? also how do the free user consume the shared reports?
With Power BI Premium you can share content with the free users through the App Workspaces. The free users will consume content via the App Workspaces. The App Workspaces are published from the workspace and this is where the content is consumed.
Here are the methods regarding sharing.

How do you confidure RLS? Are the free users prevented to access the dataset?
If they are have RLS applied (not prevent to see all data), they can see the report.

Hi GilbertQ and v-juanli-msft,
Thanks for the reply. I shared the report using that Share button (in which I then type the user's email).
- RLS: I think the RLS has been configured correctly. That user also belongs to a group.
- Workspace: the workspace is confirmed in Premium capacity.
What the user saw is a pop up prompting her to Upgrade to Pro (i.e. "this content is only available to users with a Pro Power BI license.").
I will try to share with App, but this should not be an issue, should it? Is it a limitation of sharing not through App?
Thank you!

Hi GilbertQ,
Sharing through app works. Thanks!
But just for my education, why does sharing through the non-app way (using share button) fail?
