Premium License scenario question
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-admin-licensing-organization
In the link above , it says the below
- Premium - A Power BI Premium subscription license allocates a capacity to an organization. This subscription type is suitable for enterprise BI, big data analytics, cloud and on-premises reporting. Premium provides advanced administration and deployment controls. Reserved compute and storage resources are managed by capacity admins in your organization. There's a monthly cost for this reserved environment. In addition to other Premium advantages, content stored in Premium capacity can be accessed by and distributed to users who don't have Power BI Pro licenses. At least one user must have a Power BI Pro license assigned to use Premium, and content creators and developers need a Power BI Pro license.
Scenario: Data Provider is in Azure Power BI Premium tenant and the Data Cosnumer is in Azure Power BI tenant.
Question:
Who is the one user in a Premium capacity who should have Power BI Pro license ? Should that be a Data Provider or Data Consumer?
Hi Anonymous ,
The data provider/ content creator needs the Power BI Pro License. From that article:
A Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium Per User license is required before users can share content.
Also: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/service-features-license-type#pro-license
Power BI Pro is an individual per-user license that lets users create content and also read, and interact with content that others have published to the Power BI service. Users with this license type can share content and collaborate with other Power BI Pro users. Only Power BI Pro users can publish or share content with other Pro users or consume content that's created by other Pro users, unless a Power BI Premium capacity hosts that content. If a Power BI Premium capacity hosts the content, then Pro users can share content and collaborate with free and PPU users too.
