Hello everyone,
I want to set up a SQL Server connection between a local database and Power BI online with the SQL Server premium connector. I found out that to use the premium connectors I need a Power Apps license. My question now is, does every user who works with Power BI needs a Power Apps license or only the one person who sets up the connection and the other users who use the connection through Power BI only need a Power BI license?
Thanks for your help.

Hi @Anonymous
Most probably only the user that is set on scheduled refresh needs the licence, the consumers of the report will not need it.
Check out the April 2026 Power BI update to learn about new features.
