Licensing Question - PowerBI Premium
Hi,
I have a question regarding licensing. I have a power bi pro license within my organisation which gives the me the ability to create and edit content which I can share amongst my organisation. My organisation users who want to access the content DO NOT have a Power BI Pro license but as an organisation we have Power BI Premium.
I have created and shared these reports with them but they are not able to access any of my dashboards or reports. Reviewing this documentation (right down the bottom) under the section titled "Unlimited Content Sharing" it states that this should be possible - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-what-is
Does anyone have any feedback on this or can provide assistance in advising me what is covered under this sharing of content.
Thanks
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.

- Hi powerappin,
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-appHi,
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.
