Power BI Reporting Set Up
DannyAlfa Yes, you are thinking about it the right way.
The PPU license allows you to publish reports to a Pro or PPU workspace. If you publish reports to a Pro workspace, other users need at least a pro license to view. A PPU license can view a pro workspace too, but a pro workspace does not include any of the premium ppu features.
If you publish reports to a PPU workspace , then other users need a PPU license in order to view them.
All of this assumes that your organization does not have a dedicated Power BI or Fabric capacity.
Hi DannyAlfa ,
Your PPU licenses contribute to your organization's Premium capacity. This capacity allows a certain number of users to view reports in shared workspaces, even if they don't have Pro licenses.
Hi mohitkumawat ,
Thanks for this, im assuming I will need to identify these certain users somewhere, where can I find this?
Hi mohitkumawat ,
Do you have a source for that? Unless something has changed very recently, PPU does not allow other users to view reports in shared workspaces without a license.
