Power BI Requirements⚓︎

To fully utilize PowerBI Portal, ensure the following Power BI resources are in place:

  • Power BI Pro Account: At least one Power BI Pro account is required for content publishing and administration.
  • Power BI Capacity: A capacity, either Power BI Embedded or Power BI Premium, is necessary to manage and distribute reports effectively. If you use Power BI Premium, PowerBI Portal doesn't need to manage your capacity: turn on I am currently using Power BI with Premium capacity in Settings > Power BI Premium Capacities.

or

  • Microsoft Fabric: a Microsoft Fabric capacity.

To learn more about what are the different capacities of PowerBI Embedded visit: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embedded-capacity#what-are-the-different-capacities

Note: Opting for a Power BI Embedded or Microsoft Fabric capacity allows PowerBI Portal to automatically manage capacity states, such as pausing during inactivity to optimize costs. For instance, setting a Timeout (minutes) of 60 will pause the capacity after an hour of no activity in PowerBI Portal, resuming upon user re-entry. See Power BI Capacities.

While initial trials of PowerBI Portal can proceed without a dedicated capacity, Microsoft imposes access limitations without one. Therefore, associating your Power BI workspaces with a capacity is essential for uninterrupted functionality.

For detailed information, refer to Microsoft's Power BI Embedded FAQ:
