Licensing Question - PowerBI Premium
No problem powerappin. Your tenant admin can probably help you with that too.
In the Power BI Admin Portal, under Capacity settings you can set (per capacity) the workspaces that should reside in your Premium capacity. The Capacity Admin (and/or Tenant Admin) can assign those workspaces to the capacity.
you are right that users do not need a pro license, but only in the following 2 cases:
- the user has the viewer role in the workspace
- the user is a member (in the permissions tab) of the published App of the workspace
Have a look over here for a little bit more info: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-how-to-collaborate-distribute-dashboards-reports#distribute-insights-in-an-app
Hi,
Yes I think I worked it out. My workspace was built in the classic mode as I was comfortable with that meeting my requirements. However on further review the "Vierwer" role doesnt exist in that and is only available in the "New" workspace creation.
Going to try this now but in theory I think it is the cause of my issues.
Will review and then accept the solution however thanks for getting back to me!

- That's indeed correct.
If you'd like you can also upgrade the current workspace. But only an Admin of the workspace can do that currently.Same issue has occured.
Users have been allocated access to the appropriate workspace and have been given "Viewer" role to this. When provide the report or dashboard URL it prompts them to have a Power BI Pro license to access the content.
Is there anything from a tenant level that needs to be configured? I have tried sharing the report/dashboard with the user and also removing that and not sharing different content with them (the assumption would be that as they can access via the View permission) and this still hasnt worked.
Data is coming from CDS however I assume that this isnt a problem? A bit confused as to why this isnt working for these users.
Thanks
- Do the users see the workspace? They should be able to access the link to the workspace also directly. What content do they see inside?
