Is PPU required for only consuming a dataflow with incremental refresh?

[Johann_32]

Hello,

I have a question about the use of dataflows that are configured with incremental refresh.

If such a dataflow is residing in a Premium per User capacity enabled workspace, does it mean that,

1. a user that connects to the dataflow to create a report upon it, needs also to have a Premium per user License?

2. a user that only consumes a already created report (that uses the dataflow as a source) also needs to have a Premium per user License, or is a Pro User enough here?

I wasnt able to find this facts in the Microsoft documentation.

Thank you!

Hi @Johann_32 

Yes, if the user connects to a data flow or a Power BI dataset that is using premium per user licencing each user using either the data flow or a Power BI report would need to also have a premium per user licence.

Hello GilbertQ, 

thanks for the quick answer. One last question:

If the dataflow with incremental refresh would reside in a Premium Capacity (not PPU), built by a user with Pro license, the consumer user only needs to be a Free license user, right?

Thank you

Hi @Johann_32 ,

Yes, that's correct. In the scenario you described, consumer users can access and consume the dataflow with incremental refresh even with a Free license.
Consumer users must have at least read access to the workspace where the dataflow resides.
