I couldn't find the S3 shortcut in my server. Is this option only for Premium per user licence?
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,
Regarding your question, the answer is no. Pro licenses and PPU licenses cannot create LakeHouses and shortcuts. You need to purchase a Frabic license. You can create a new organizational account to log in to the Power BI Service and get a 'trial' license for verification.

Hi @Anonymous
I'm not using PPU license. Im using Pro license right now. If I update to PPU license, will I get that shortcut option?

I have a PPU license and just started a Fabric trial, but I still don't see any option to "Add Shortcut" in Data Hub.
Hi @Anonymous
Thank you so much for giving valuable information.
