What is difference between my workspace and workspaces? and Apps?

[DDave705]

Hi,

I am new to Power BI and I am seeing my Workspace, Workspaces, and Apps. I really want to use these features and options so would like to know if some have good examples to share and explain the difference between them.

Thank you,

Darshan Dave

@DDave705 My Workspace is your own default workspace. It is where you will always be the sole owner of the content. You can share things from it, but it shouldn't be used for company wide sharing.

The App Workspace are tied to O365 Universal Groups, and are collaborative workspaces where you can have multiple people own and manage reports. Outside of the collaborative nature of the workspace they also allow you to create Apps. Publishing an App from a workspace is a 1:1 mapping of the items you select to share.

Apps are another mechanism to share content. They are build from App workspaces as described above.

Thanks, Eno1978 for your explanation of the query. Do you know any article that I can refer to that shows some samples for each?

@DDave705 This is a good overview of App workspaces by Reza - http://radacad.com/groups-in-power-bi

My workspace is just for you, and this article describes sharing apps - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-distribute-apps
