License for Paginated Report
We have a Workspace and Pro licenses. We want to create paginated reports for distributed pdf, what is the best solution?
Only 1 person will be in charge of creating reports.
Is a premium license/user for the user creating the reports sufficient?
Need to add premium capacity to the workspace?
Is it possible to scheduled and generate these paginated reports in PDF automatically?
Thank you
This means that when you have PPU in a user in order to take advantage of the license you need to create a workspace and define it as a Premium Per User Workspace. From that point only users with PPU can get access to the content in there. However if you just want to export that won't matter, because you develop a script to export with the API the content and that's all.

Hi. You need a dedicated capacity to publish a paginated report to service. If you are not sharing it with a lot of consumers and you just want to print or export, you should try Premium Per User (PPU) instead of a Premium capacity. It will be a lot much cheaper. The only restriction would be that only users with PPU are allowed to check that premium per user workspace.
You can automate the export of the pdf with the rest API. Here is the request:

I hope that helps,
