Premium Per User

[admbinp]

Hi, 

My case is my company has 4 accounts.

- We uses 1 account to create reports and publish it on Power BI Service (not the admin account)

- 3 other accounts to view the reports on Power BI Service. 

We were using Power BI Pro license, but our PBIX files' size exceed 1 GB. We want to publish these files on Power BI Service for 3 view accounts. So in our case, what can we do to be able to publish over 1 GB file on Power BI Service? 

We've tried to buy Premium Per User for the creator account above (we didn't buy Premium Per User for the admin account). Still we cannot publish this file. Any ideas what we need to do to fix this?

Thank you for your reply, I've updated my Workspace to Premium Workspace so it works now.

Hi @admbinp 

Pbix file needs to be published to the service by the account who has the PPU License.

Hi. Are you publishing your report in a Premium per User Workspace? it is suposed to cover until 100gb data model. It should work in that scenario. However I haven't tested yet :S

Before the creation of that license. The best work around to scale in data model size was paying for Azure Analysis Service. That service will allow you to expand the size of the model and you can live connect your Power Bi to analysis services to continue the visualizations designs.

Yes, we were having the same issues.  Took me a while to find the part in the document online where you have to turn the PPU part on for the workspace either by editing one (if you have admin rights) or by creating a new one (if you have admin rights)  I found your post and went and researched this a little more.  About halfway down through this article is the End User Experience and the information is contained there.  So I just reached out to my admin and am having him click it over to the PPU workspace on my end.  It's funny, I didn't remember seeing this in the article before, so I wonder if they updated it recently.
