Power BI Reporting Set Up
Hi all,
I am a relatively new user of Power BI and want some support in better understanding how to set up end users for the company I work for. I currently have a PPU account along with my IT manager.
We will have around 10-20 end users scattered across the business and I want to set them up with the correct level of access so that they can view the reports that are being created.
My understanding from various theads and videos I have seen is that they will require a Power BI Pro Licence in order to view reports is that correct?
Any Help and advice is much appreciated.
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.
