Licensing Question - Fabric/Embedded

Hello, 

So we have this use case: We use PowerBI Embedded with an external app to share our reports with the all company, mostly free users.

We are now going to purchase a Fabric Capacity License. Do we still need to keep PowerBI Embedded to share reports with free users? 

Thanks

  • Hi. It depends on you. Microsoft Fabric capacities allow you to create and share content and leverage reports/dashboards for your applications. Microsoft Fabric provides all the capabilities required for a developer to extract insights from data and present it to the business user, whether it is within Fabric or embedded in external applications.

    You can use workspaces with Fabric capacity enable for embedding just like the ones with PowerBi embedded.

    You could just use fabric for all or keep both to split capacities with different resources.

    I hope that helps,

        Awesome. I don't know which your capacity you had and your plans or data volume. Glad to check microsoft has helped. Just remember that you can use any Fabric SKU for embedding.
