Can you please do a video on how to share reports between content creators and consumers using ONLY Pro licenses and NOT Premium.
Thank you!

[carlwells]

This is great information. For those of us who's budget does not allow spending $5000 a month for premium, we are still left out of a great number of these very cool features like this one and paginated reports.

[SCTION]

To clarify - when Adam says “backed by premium” I believe that means “premium per capacity” - I think that’s important because you can have a pro or premium license - but only premium per capacity means mass distribution. Adam does say it at the beginning quickly in case folks didn’t catch it!

Is there a video on what you can and can’t do, and how you should distribute...under the assumption you only have a Pro license and not Premium?

[curiouscrandall]

Great video - been trying to wrap my head around the Viewer role since it was released and this definitely helps! One question I do have - we are distributing a report using the app workspace, RLS is applied so Viewer role is being used. Is there any way for users to still pin to dashboard if they only have the Viewer role in the app workspace? Thanks!

This is a terrific feature for our organization. We have small centralized groups of users who need to access more information than that which is mass distributed to other internal and external users. Previously we used to have to create two apps for each scenario... One for the power users and one for the mass audience. We can now leverage the "include in app" to keep some information only for those select set of users. Looking forward to this!!

Great video. I hadn't understood the Apps piece and now I do. It would be great if you could do a video that summarises the options and permutations between Workspaces, Apps and Licencing options and also with how reports can also be used within Teams and Sharepoint pages. There's a grouping of how to deploy reports and there are so many permutations and options it's really difficult to get the picture; I'm trying to piece this together. There's been a lot of evolution on this subject in the last three years that it would be great to bring it all together in a single piece communication. Your channel is really excellent, one of my "goto" places to get quality content.

[SolutionsAbroad]

Amazing video, I always deployed via workspaces because my team was always pretty small, but will keep apps in mind for future ones!

[christianjfrancis]

Great info thanks! It would be great to see an up to date video on creating compelling apps and managing row level security for the app

Hi Adam, great video again! Thanks. I have a question from the admin perspective of this. I know if it possible to use a REST API to get a list of all workspaces in the organisation and using a parameter $expand I can even get users from the workspaces in one call. I was wondering if there is anything like it for Power BI apps - all I can find in the MS documentation is Get Groups but that only gives me a list of apps - not a list of users that can access it. Any suggestions, please? Thank you!

@
Guy in a Cube: Thanks for all the information. This channel is great. One question is
Is there any way to give user access to entire work-space but limit which reports that user can see? RLS doesnt help as user can still see the report exist (which he doesn't have access to) but content is blank.

[ketanpatil]

Good one Adam!! Thanks for sharing some perspective around Apps and App Workspaces.

[mehdihammadi]

Thank you for the video. To resume a free user can consume a report : (1) across an App (2) across a Premium Workspace where he have the viewer role.

[chadlee]

Thank you for this video. Our users had been getting that message as I was using the workspace, not the App. I think this answers so many of my questions.

[gondebas]

Hi Adam, one thing that is discouraging from apps is the left menu that takes 1/8 of the screen. It seems not to be collapsed by any means in the full screen mode. Have you found any workaround for that?

[jrr]

Can I use power bi embedded dedicated capacity instead of the premium capacity to assign workspaces and view workspaces as a viewer where I don’t have an SKU office365 licence or power bi licence. Also can I publish or embed content to a share point site from this workspace in the embedded capacity skew.

[Dhanalakshmi-nbft]

Hey !! Thanks for simple but clear information.

[Veles]

2:27 Would love to know what he has in the 501st, Drones and Wisdom favourites folders :)

[alessandravandenes]

Super useful video thanks! however what if i have multiple non-pro users that should be able to see different reports in an app? At which level do i set up their rights?

[StevenMotmans]

Me happy :) I was waiting for a long time for this feature. This makes it a lot easier for me to sell BI solutions.
