To enable Co-Pilot within Power BI for a user with a Premium Per User (PPU) license, several steps must be followed to ensure everything is configured correctly. First, it’s essential to confirm that the Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) license is correctly assigned to the user, as Co-Pilot functionality is available to PPU users. Once confirmed, access the Power BI Admin Portal as an administrator and navigate to Tenant Settings, where AI features such as Power BI Co-Pilot need to be enabled. This setting may be restricted based on your organization’s configurations, so ensure that the AI features are switched on and that the users who need access are granted the appropriate permissions to use these features. Additionally, make sure that the region you are in supports Co-Pilot, as these features may be rolled out gradually and may not be available in all regions immediately. It is also crucial to ensure that Power BI Desktop is up to date, as Co-Pilot is often tied to newer versions of the software. Once enabled, Co-Pilot will provide features like natural language querying, where users can ask questions about their data in plain language, and AI-powered suggestions for visualizations, making it easier to gain insights from data without requiring manual intervention. If you’ve followed these steps and the feature still isn’t working, check role-based access to ensure that the right permissions have been assigned and verify that all the necessary configurations and integrations are in place, such as Azure integrations. If issues persist, contacting Microsoft support may help resolve configuration or regional access issues, especially since Co-Pilot features might still be in phased deployment.

Hi Anonymous ,
As per the Microsoft documentation, copilot needs workspace assigned to F64 SKU / P1 capacity or higher. And the user needs to have write permission to the workspace.

As I understand, it is not aligned to any particular per user Pro or PPU license. For accessing from Power BI desktop, user needs to have write permission to workspace with F64 SKU or higher.
If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.

Need to try this solution.
Steps we perfromed -
1) Checked licenses - User has been assigned with Microsoft PowerBi Premium Per User license, Microsoft Fabric.
2) Co-Pilot feature is enabled in PowerBi Admin Portal and made available to entire org.
Should we get Premium Capacity license assigned to user? We do not procure these licenses usually only on exceptions.
