Thanks for the reply, I didn't realise that for individuals.

As for the Groups, it does display and autoresolve the group when I add them to the Content Pack. When I set up a group though and am presented with the 'Add Group Members' field it does not autoresolve my group, instead I added my group email address i.e. [email protected] - is this incorrect?

In terms of licensing we have a number of users on E3 with Power BI Pro licenes but the majority are on Business Premium with Power BI free.

To rule that out I've now made all users within the groups involved Power BI Pro licensed (although some still have Business Premium rather than E3/5). 

I have also gone back to the group and added the users via their individual email addresses rather than the group email as the documentation suggests that isn't working yet (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-create-a-group-in-power-bi/).

I still cannot however access the content pack shared with 'Group 2' though from within Group 2 though.
