Switch between PPU and Pro & Workspace Settings = Pro
Hi cyclist007 ,
I believe that this is not an issue about your license as much as it is about the workspace that is created. You can be a PPU, create a NON-premium workspace and it will be like a normal workspace, you can also create a premium workspace as a PPU and only other PPU (or full Premium) licensed folks can see it.
Thanks these articles do help. But none of them callout the fact that workspaces also have types (Pro, PPU, Premium per Capacity, Embedded) ... maybe it's a new thing. But after going through all this and your responses, I would say that it is the workspace type which determines who has access to view reports (not the authors license type).
If i were to summarize it would be as followsWorkspace Type Viewers with basic account Viewers with Pro license Viewers with PPU license Pro Workspace No Yes Yes Premium Per User Workspace No No Yes Premium Per Capacity Workspace Yes Yes Yes Embedded Yes? Yes? Yes? Hi, cyclist007
Yes, it's almost what it means.
Whether a user has permission to enter the workspace, view and edit the content, depends on the permissions you give it to the workspace (admin, member, contributor, viewer), but if the user wants to enter the ppu workspace, the user must also have the ppu licence. As for premium capacity, it is for tenants, not for individuals. With this license, ordinary users can also enter premium capacity, but editing content still requires a pro licence.

Yeah, that is what I am trying to understand ... as all matrices/tables or documentation just talk about individual licenses - they dont talk about the control being there at the workspace level (which i have saw just yesterday).
It would be good if documentation made this more clear, and someone who has done this, can validate this?
Hi cyclist007 ,
How about this article for Reports and Dashboards? Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
This one talks about the Workspace level and licenses required to view/share:
Roles in the new workspaces in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Do those help?
