    Hi. I think it should work. I'm currently working with Microsoft Fabric Free users as Contributors of a Workspace with Fabric capacity. The free users can handle any Fabric content (pipelines, notebooks, etc). The content they can't modify is the Power Bi one, like semantic model, reports, etc.

    Make sure the users are considered at the Tenant Settings for letting them Create Fabric Content. That's the only permission they might need.

    I hope that helps,

    The Premium licenses (ppu and Pro) only apply to working in the Power BI workload. For the other workloads, a Fabric free license is the only license needed.
