What does Power BI Premium P3 do? How does it work?

Power BI Premium P3 consists of capacity in the Power BI service exclusively allocated to each organization. The capacity is supported by dedicated hardware fully managed by Microsoft. Organizations can choose to apply their capacity broadly, or allocate it to assigned workspaces based on the number of users, workload needs, or other factors-and scale up or down as requirements change.

How is Power BI Pro different than Power BI Premium P3?

Power BI Premium P3 is a capacity-based license, while Power BI Pro and Premium Per User (PPU) are user-based licenses. Power BI Pro is for those users publishing reports, sharing dashboards, collaborating with colleagues in workspaces and engaging in other related activities – such as the ability to:

• Edit and save customized views
• Create personal dashboards (pin to new dashboard)
• Analyze data in Excel or Power BI Desktop
• Share with Excel Web App support
• Share dashboards and collaborate with Microsoft 365 Groups
• Integrate content with Microsoft Teams
• A Premium Per User (PPU) license includes all the functionality of a Pro user, plus additional capabilities.

Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) is required to publish reports, share dashboards, collaborate with colleagues in workspaces and engage in other related activities. Power BI Pro isn't required to consume content in Premium capacity.
