    Hi KRISHI02 ,

     

    If you publish any reports on power bi pro workspace/my_workspace then every viewer needs a pro license.

    If you publish any report on premium capacity workspace then viewers don't need a pro license.

    If you publish any report on premium per user workspace then viewers need a ppu license.

     

    If your users have a Microsoft E5 license then pro license is not required.

     

     

    I hope it will be helpful.

     

    Thanks,

    Sai Teja

Hey SaiTejaTalasila ,

 

please be aware, that the 2nd point is only true, if the report will be accessed via an app. If the report is accessed from within the workspace a PRO license is still required.

 

Regards,

Tom

    Hi TomMartens ,

     

    Users without a Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license can access a workspace if the workspace is in a Power BI Premium capacity, but only if they have the Viewer role.

     

    Thanks,
