Power BI Pro licencing in Premium capacity, for content that is in read only mode?

[Anonymous]

Last year I published a report to a clients Premium Capacity workspace, with a service account user, that has a Pro licence applied (as it should). This service account user is an admin of the workspace (there are other admins). This service account is the owner of the dataset and the report.

The report is now basically in "production" It is not being actively worked on, but it is being consumed regularly by other users, both pro licenced and not pro licenced.

The client has now asked whether it was OK to take away the pro licence from the service account. Does anyone know if this will cause any issues? Would I need to have ownership applied to another licenced user?

Cheers

Hi， @Anonymous 

If the account is not assigned pro license, an error will be reported when other users access the corresponding workspace and reports.

It is recommended to apply ownership to another licensed users.
