Premium Workspace Prompt for Pro License

Some non-Pro users are being prompted to signup for the Pro license when accessing a Workspace on Premium capacity. It is inconsistent as to why certain users are being prompted while others are not....

    SOLUTION: Yes, a free user can access workspaces to view assets with a P level SKU, which we have.

     

    1. Remove User from the Viewer Role and save.
    2. Allow about 15-30 minutes
    3. Re-add User as viewer role in the workspace
    4. Before user tries again, they will need to delete browser history and cache (all time range) and then login again and try and see if it will work

Hi there

Free users can only view reports be that either via Shared with me or via an App.

I think a free user can also view an App workspace via a Viewer Role, any other role and you will need a Power BI pro license.

    Thanks for the reply

     

    One user was given admin access to a workspace and is still promoted. Others are a mix of viewers and contributors across various workspace, all are upgraded to the newer version.

      Hi there

      Can you please clarify what you mean by "Newer Version"?

        Classic vs upgraded workspace

      Hi mckeyes 

      Admin access doesn't automatically give you access to apps/reports.  Even admins need to have Pro or be granted access to the workspace. 

       

      I would check a few things:

      1.  In the workspace, check Settings and make sure the workspace is in Premium.
      2.  In the workspace, check Access and make sure all your users have at least Viewer permissions.
      3.  Select Update app > Permissions.  Did you share this app with all the users? Did you set it to install automatically?
      4. You mention "workspace" above, are you also creating an app? And it's the "app workspace" that is having problems?

       

      If none of those fix it, write back and I can continue troubleshooting.

      Take care,

      Michele

        I have a support ticket in.

         

        Again, not all free users receive the prompt and not all workspaces give a prompt to those users that are experiencing the issue. 

         

        Went through the initial steps with Microsoft support and none resolved the issue yet. I have a session with them later today. I will update the post when we find a solution.
