Hi @Anonymous ,

 

To create or update an app, you need a Power BI Pro license. For app consumers, there are two options.

  • Option 1 The workspace for this app is not in a Power BI Premium capacity: All business users need Power BI Pro licenses to view your app.
  • Option 2 The workspace for this app is in a Power BI Premium capacity: Business users without Power BI Pro licenses in your organization can view app content. However, they can't copy the reports, or create reports based on the underlying datasets. Read What is Power BI Premium? for details.

 

You can learn more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-distribute-apps.

 

Regarding the issue that some users can't find the published app, I would suggest you contact your Power BI admin, check if he/she set the group exception.
