Going All in With A Power BI Premium License

Power BI Premium per User was introduced in 2021 as an additional Premium offering to complement the existing consumption-based Premium Capacity plan. Premium per User extends the features of the Pro license, providing more storage for big data analytics without capacity limits tied to a single location. It offers the same core collaboration features as Pro but with increased data model size and refresh rates, as well as paginated report outputs. Only users with the same license type, whether Pro or Premium, can collaborate together.

The Free license undoubtedly limits collaboration and security.

If either feature is
necessary, you have no choice but to consider the Pro license. Because a user can
create and author content beyond just your personal use, most organizations,
from start-up to Fortune 100, adopt Power BI Pro for those involved in business
intelligence and analytics deployments.

Going all in with a Power BI


Premium license
Suppose that your organization has a lot of data. You may even want to host large
datasets and require storage for extensive Reports and Dashboard outputs. Addi-
tionally, you may have many users collaborating, not just one or two cherry pick-
ing data occasionally. That’s when you need to consider Power BI Premium.

Until March 2021, Microsoft offered only one version of Power BI Premium.
Licensing at that point was consumption based. The Capacity licensing plan
offered an organization hosting rights in their premium workspace. A dataset
could be as extensive as 50 gigabytes. Also, the organization received as much as
100 terabytes in disk storage capacity.

Fast-forward to 2021, when an additional Premium offering, called Power BI Pre-


mium per User, was introduced to complement the consumption plan. Premium
per User extended both the capacity requirements as well as the features offered
in the Pro license to those who need more storage for big data analytics without
being tied to a single location or having rules that tie usage to the storage limits.

Power BI Pro and Premium per User licenses offer the same core features, except
for storage allocation. You can publish reports and dashboard-based content to
other workspaces, share dashboards and reports, and subscribe to other user
reports and dashboards. Keep one catch in mind: Only users with like-kind licens-
ing can collaborate. Power BI Pro users can collaborate only among themselves.
Similarly, only Power BI Premium User licenses can work together. That said, if
your organization commits to a Power BI Premium Capacity plan, you must pur-
chase a Power BI Pro license per user to publish content into Power BI Premium
Capacity.

Premium per User comes with a few added features intended to accelerate busi-
ness intelligence scalability. The most obvious difference is that each user can
build a data model having up to 100 gigabytes. Refresh rate abilities increase from
8 times per day to 48 times per day. Report outputs can be paginated as well.
