Hi idriscoll ，
Free users only in premium capacity can act the same as a Pro license.PPU is applied for users while Premium capacity is applied for the capacity.

idriscoll - No, you are not missing a step. If you use a Premium capacity then that is when you can share with Free users. However, Premium Per User acts differently. If you use Premium Per User then everyone has to have Premium Per User is my understanding. It is a way to offer Premium features at a lower price point so that small and medium businesses can get the Premium features without shelling out $5K/month. I need to update my Power BI Licensing in Pictures.
I have the opposite problem: I have created a premium per user workspace and share the report with a free user. To my surprise, the free user can access the report with no need to upgrade the account. We don't have premium capacity license in the organization, so it's very confusing for me. Maybe it takes a few hours for the premum per user workspace get recongized in Power BI permission system?
