Regarding Power BI App access

[Priyanga]

Hi Team,

I have created a Power BI App from a Premium workspace. But reports in that Premium workspace were a copy(using Save a copy feature) from another workspace which is not Premium. Now I need to understand whether Free users will be able to access the Power BI App created on Premium workspace even if the actual dataset of the report resides in an non Premium workspace. Kindly help.

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,

Priyanga

Hi @Priyanga ,

If your app relies on datasets from other workspaces, it is your responsibility to ensure all app users have access to the underlying datasets. If the app or report is in the same workspace as the dataset, make sure you add the report associated with the dataset to the app as well.

The workspace for this app is in a Power BI Premium capacity: Business users without Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) licenses in your organization can view app content. However, they can't copy the reports, or create reports based on the underlying datasets.

Hi. I'm not sure but I would say it won't work. The user will be able to get in the app but the data might not show up. On my side it doesn't make any sense to keep a dataset in a non premium workspace if you have one. Because you are missing a lot of amazing features that premium has. You can turn on the same single capacity for both workspace, the one with the dataset and the one with the report.

I hope that make sense
