Can you use any 'premium' features with Power BI Embedded A1 SKU license

[DarrellK]

I’m investigating Power BI Embedded as a means of embedding reports in an application used by external users.

I've read on this page that “If you purchase an A4 or higher SKU, you can take advantage of all Premium features except for unlimited sharing of content”.

This suggests that if I only have A1, A2 or A3 SKUs, it will not let me use most premium features. Is this true?

To ask this a different way, and more specifically, can I use any of the following 'premium' features in workspaces with Power BI Embedded A1 or A2 SKU capacity (where I am embedding Power BI reports in a web application and connecting to the Power BI service via a service principal):

• Advanced AI
• Dataflows with computed entities
• Dataflow incremental refreshes
• Paginated reports

Or do I need A4 or P SKUs (or Premium Per User) licensing to get these premium features?

Thanks

Hi, @DarrellK 

You don't need to purchase A4.

I think A2,A3 SKU capacity should be enough.

You can refer to the following links:

AI with dataflows 

Premium features of dataflows 

paginated reports in Power BI Premium 

If you have purchased A3 capcaities, you can enable the enhanced compute engine to optimize the use of dataflows,
