Power BI Plan and Capacity

Hey aw27 ,

I have to admit that I do not understand some of your questions/requirements. I assume this is maybe due to your using of terms in an unfamiliar context.

I do not understand the usage of the phrase "each user seeing different dataset", maybe you are using the term dataset to describe a portion of Power BI dataset, if this is the case, have a closer look at Row Level Security: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-admin-rls

Row Level Security is available on all licensing plans.

I do not understand "generate customized reports", it's absolutely not possible that the content of a report can be generated or customized. But maybe this is also due to my misunderstanding of "customized" reports. I understand: depending on a role - the content (the number of data visualizations and the type of these visualizations) has to adapt. But maybe, this can also be achieved using Row Level Security.

Next, check the feature Mulitple audiences." I have the honor to speak about this feature during Reid Havens livestreams, see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIgQrxtQhOw.

Then what is an agent, and how many agents will access your Power BI app. Either you assign an agent a Power BI Pro license or you provide access to an Power BI app backed by Premium Per Capacity licensing model. Depending on the number of agents, the management of Pro licenses is "eating" the cost savings in comparison to the price of a Premium Per Capacity model.

I recommend this learning path: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/get-started-power-bi/

Hopefully, this provides some insights that are helping to tackle your challenge.

Regards,

Tom
