Power BI Premium Permissions

Hello,


I am new to Power BI premium per user and need help with permissioning in a Premium workspace and Power BI App. I created a Premium workspace and added all users that I want to see the app as viewers. However, when they try to access the App, they are being prompted to sign up for a free trial of Pro. We have tried cancelling the Pro license after signing up, but then they cannot view. Isn't it the entire purpose of creating a Premium workspace and Power BI App to to be able to share it with user who only have a free license? Am I doing something wrong?

  • Hi nsexton12 

    Having a PPU (Premium Per User) license doesn't mean that the Workspace is in a Premium Capacity mode. Therefore the users will need to have At least Pro licenses to access the workspace or you upgrade your workspace to Premium Capacity in order for free users to be able to access the WS.

      Thank you! Is this the option that costs $5k per month?
