PowerBI Trial - changing capacity to EM1

Hi, 

 

We are currently testing PowerBI premium and have signed up for the free trial. What is the default capacity setting for PowerBI Premium Trial? If it's not EM1, how do we go about changing the setting to use EM1? We are not able to do it through the PowerBI admin Portal as it says we need to purchase premium license to do it but we want to do test it out before purchasing. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

@Kuna If you are exploring Power BI Embedded, you may want to check out the new Azure SKU, you'll have a lot more flexibility. See here for details

Thanks @Seth_C_Bauer

 

I am not sure if we are able to take advantage of the new SKU for trial purposes. I have outlined what we have done to test this out:

 

1) Signed up for free trial on Azure (250 credit) and added Power BI Embedded with A1 capacity

2) We can confirm that #1 shows up under powerbi.com Admin Portal we are testing (under the tab "Power BI Embedded")

3) We are still using Power BI Pro Trial to test the embedding. 

4) We have successfully used the API/Javascript to embed the necessary reports into our site.  The account used for embedding (for now) is an admin account. We have also tried an account that only has admin access for the report being embedded. 

 

How do we make sure the embed feature (during the trial) is using the new A1 capacity we setup in #1?  We are not able to confirm it is currently using #1 for the following reasons:

a) If we pause A1, the embedding still works - so it must be using some other default capacity as part of the trial? 

b) In portal.azure.com, there is no way for us to get stats on A1 usage (# of views rendered, loads, etc). Is there a place to get all these stats? Without these stats how would be able to plan the capacity to use Em2, 3, etc?

 

Basically we are looking for ways to confirm that our trial embed test is using the new Azure SKU that we setup for Power BI embedded. 

 

Thanks again for any direction you can provide.
