Hi All, I am wondering what are the main limitations for a free users who are consuming sheared content in PREMIUM capacity in organization ? I know they can't publish report, create own one, use Analyze in excel feature.. Anything else ? Are they still able to export data to excel, download report to their own desktop ? Thanks
Hi @Anonymous,
Based on the official document, It has mentioned it.
Free user consumption in apps includes viewing content in web and mobile, using Q&A, Quick Insights, Cortana, export to CSV, Excel and PowerPoint.
By my test, if you are a free user, you could not download report in premium to to pbix file, because if you want to download the report, you should have the edit permission.
For further, you could have a good look at this article.
Best Regards,
Cherry
