Why some users are prompted to create a Microsoft Fabric Free account ?

Hi All,

 

Several months ago we signed up for the 'Free' evaluation of Microsoft Fabric.  After deciding we were not interested, we let the trial period expire and went on our merry way of publishing PBI content to the service per usual.  We have company sensitive data contained in a PBI App which requires only a select number of users (audience members) have access to the content. This went along just fine until a user in our office was granted access to the App but was prompted to create a MS Fabric Account for Free:prompt for MS Fabric.jpg

Why is this happening?  Thank you in advance for anyones help!

Hi @Knox_DataMan 

 

Can you please make sure that the app workspace you are using does not have any fabric items left behind, such as a lake house or notebook, etc. And then also make sure that the app workspace is using a power BI pro premium or premium per user license.
