Power BI premium sharing content

We have recently upgraded to PBI premium and I have tried to share some dashboards with users who don't have pro licence. 

From all that I have read, I understood that if you're sharing from premium workspace and you're a pro user the users that only need to view the data should be able to access it.

I have tried sharing just a dashbard, report, I tried adding the person on the access section as a user and also created an app. None of these worked. 

Any suggestions what the issue might be? 

Thanks!

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    user with a free licence can access content that is provided via an app, if these users are added inside the permissions sections or if these users are assigned to Viewer role.

     

    Make sure that the workspace is assigned to the Premium capacity, a small diamond next to workspace indicates that the workspace is assigned to a Premium workspace.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

      Hi TomMartens ,

       

      I have tried to share app with the users they get the app but when they try to open it it comes the message to try pbi pro for free or upgrade the account. 

      I have also tried adding the users to the workspace as a viewers, they get to see the workspace but when they try to open it they get the same message.

        Hey Anonymous ,

         

        just to be sure, please confirm that your workspace is assigned to a Premium capacity.

        This is indicated by a little diamond next to the workspace name.

         

        Regards,

        Tom
