You can automatically install apps that people use for work in the Apps content list, instead of requiring users to find the app in Microsoft AppSource or follow an installation link. This streamlines roll-out of standard Power BI content to users.

To turn on this capability, tenant admins enable Push apps to users on the Settings tab in the Power BI admin portal. Admins can specify whether the entire organization or specific security groups get this capability.

How to install an app automatically for users

After an app publisher enables the Push apps setting, they need to push the app to all users or groups defined in the Permissions section of the Access tab. To do this, they select Install app automatically, and then select Finish.

How users get the apps that were pushed to them

After you push an app, it automatically shows up in the Apps list. This helps organizations curate apps for a user or job role.
