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
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?- GilbertQHi there
The way it is designed is that RLS and Free users is only supported currently when shared via the App experience. Any other type of sharing with dashboards or reports will invoke a Power BI Pro license to view the content.
