PowerBI requesting PPU to view published APP

[rabihbadr]

My license is PPU. I have a PPU workspace. I have a bunch of reports published into an APP.

I add a user into my domain. I assign him a PBI Pro license. I add him as "Contributor" to my PPU workspace. I add him into "Audience" of my reports.

I send him the APP link. PowerBI requests from him a PPU license to view, i thought Pro licenses can view a published APP.

What is going on?

Hey @rabihbadr ,
if you are using a PPU and publish it in PPU environment your data consumer will also need a PPU license.

If you are using Pro license your user will also need Pro license.

Thank you for your reply. I had thought before that PPU can share to Pro.

Aside from losing some features (Datamarts, Dataflows, etc...), does switching my workspace from PPU to Pro license now affect the scheduled refresh times? (Does Pro license have less computing resources?)

This could happen. 
Both (Pro and PPU) are shared capacities. You share compute power with others.
PPU is a P3 in the backend. Regarding RAM your are better with PPU, but since both are shared capacities maybe there is still be an impact on compute.
To be honest I have no experience with PPU vs. Pro yet.
