Power BI

Power BI

Power BI is a suite of business analytics tools developed by Microsoft. It enables users to visualize and share insights from their data through interactive reports and dashboards. Power BI helps organizations turn raw data into actionable insights, enabling better decision-making and performance tracking.

Access

Currently, two tiers of licenses are being used: Pro - for those who need to access reports, and Premium per User (PPU) - for those who create reports.

• Power BI Pro is an individual per-user license that lets users create content and also read, and interact with content that others publish to the Power BI service. Users with this license type can share content and collaborate with other Power BI Pro users. Only Power BI Pro users can publish or share content with other Pro users or consume content that's created by other Pro users, unless a Power BI Premium capacity hosts that content. If a Power BI Premium capacity hosts the content, then Pro users can share content and collaborate with free and PPU users too.
• A PPU per-user license provides the license holder with all of the capabilities of Power BI Pro plus access to most Premium capacity-based features. A Power BI PPU license unlocks access to extra features, capabilities, and types of content that are only available with a paid license. This access is limited to the PPU license holder and other colleagues who also have a PPU license. For example, in order to collaborate and share content in a PPU workspace, all users must have a PPU license.
