If I switch to Premium per user, does my entire organization have to switch too?

Hello,

 

I'm considering switching from Pro to Premium per user (PPU), but I'm a bit confused as to how PPU users interact with Pro users.

 

If I switch to PPU for my own account, will other members of my organization have to switch as well? As Pro users, will they get locked out from my content? How do the two account "levels" interact with each other?

 

Thank you!

Hi @AlexGQc 

For reference: End user experience questions

Here are the answers to your questions.

Q1: Who can access content in a Premium Per User workspace/app?

Any user must have a Premium Per User license to view content in a Premium Per User workspace. This includes scenarios where users are accessing the content through the XMLA endpoint, Analyze in Excel, Composite Models, and so on. You may grant access to users to the workspace who don’t have a PPU license yet, but they will receive a message saying they can’t access the content. They will be prompted for trial license if they are eligible. If they aren’t eligible, they need to be assigned a license by their tenant admin.

 

Q2: What content can people with which license type see when it is shared with them?
