PowerBI Service - New Environment
I have a question for the group. I have a small company whereby my 10 employees have PowerBI license and we use the PowerBI Service. Now I want to provide PowerBI services to a client who needs 5 licenses. We will be maintaining the PowerBI Service and paying for the licenses as part of a monthly fee. Also writing reports. Would you a) create a tenant on our existing PowerBI Service, or b) create their own environment and add us as a user to administer the site and publish content. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Razorbx13 - I would create a Workspace for them and add them as admins/members of that workspace.
Thanks Greg. I would assume then I would have to give them a userid from my company? Also, let's say over a span of a couple of years I have 10 clients like this. Small, not many users, etc. Keep the same practice? Sorry for the questions, kind of new to providing service like this.
Razorbx13 - Well, it's just going to depend. You could give access to their own Office 365 accounts into a workspace in your tenant. It really comes down to what service you are trying to provide. I have a customer that went down a similar path but not sure if it applies in your case. In their case, ultimately they were trying to provide a report out to their customers. They started down the path of a workspace per customer until I could get their model in shape to where it supported RLS. Then they could use a single workspace and report for all of their customers. That's a better solution for their requirement as it is much more maintainable and supportable having a single data model and version of the report versus 50.
