B2B - Different Licensing in Different Tenants

[mthirty]

Is it possible to be assigned a Premium per Capacity license in a user's 'home' tenant and also a Premium per User license as a 'Guest' in another tenant? Would that allow the user to access PPU workspaces on the Guest tenant while not impacting licensing in 'home' tenant?

Scenario: User currently has Premium per Capacity licensing within ABC tenant. They have been invited as a guest to XYZ tenant in which reports are being published in Premium per User workspaces, but cannot access the content. Is it possible to provision the user a PPU license on XYZ tenant so they can access the content, and maintain their Premium per Capacity license in ABC tenant?

Hi @mthirty

You can bring your own PPU lisense or XYZ tenant can assign it for you, while this does not affect your Premium per Capacity license in ABC tenant. What are your concerns?

Thanks @v-xulin-mstf ! The concern I had was whether changing license levels from PPC to PPU on the current ABC tenant would affect current user access for workspaces created in that tenant. I was thinking that once a user had a PPU license, anything they would publish would require other users to have that same level license to access. But, if I am reading some of the documentation correctly, even if a user has a PPU licnese, they can continue to publish to a PPC workspace and current users would not require that license. Is that correct?

Hi @MartinHH

Yes, as we know, PPC is capacity-based, and we can access it when the content exists in a workspace with an allocated premium capacity and is not affected by the license.

Hi @mthirty , your understanding is correct. Even if a user has a PPU license, when she deploys reports and/or datasets to a PPC workspace, those artifacts are still visible to other users of that workspace without a PPU license. The same concept applies to Pro licenses.
