Users with free power bi license cannot access apps in premium workspace

Hello,

We have a problem with our users (with powerbi free license) accessing app in a premium workspace.

Let me explain what I have done; my compay has bought a Power BI Premium plan.
In Power BI Premium, I have configured a Capacity.
In this Capacity, I have created a workspace. This workspace appears with a diamond right besides its name.
The workspace access settings are configured as follow : one admin user (me), one member (the user with the free license).
In this workspace, I have created a very simple report; I have imported the data from an excel sheet and the report contains only one page and on this page there is only one table showing the data.
When the report was published to the Power Bi Services, I went to the workspace, and in the Reports section I clicked on 'Publish app'. I gave a description, in the Content I specified an app landing page to the report I created and in the Access section, I specified the email address of the user with the free license.
And then I clicked on Finish.

 

On the user's machine, I went to Apps and clicked on Get Apps, I clicked on the app I just published and it appeared in the Apps for this user.
For now, everything is fine.

But now, if I click on the app to see the report, I get a popup window telling me that the content is only for users with a power bi pro license.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

I finally found the problem, the capacity SKUs I was using were EMx and not Px. 

Even after having read the doc multiple times I totally missed the explanation of the EMx nodes. ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium#premium-capacity-nodes )

 

So I set up a workspace in a Px node, published an app and it was accessible to free powerbi licenced users.
