Manage Premium Per User
Premium Per User (PPU) is a way to license Premium features on a per user basis. Once the first user is assigned a PPU license, associated features can be turned on in any workspace. Admins can manage the auto refresh and dataset workload settings that are shown to users and their default values. For example, access to the XMLA endpoint can be turned off, set to read only, or set to read and write.
Access the Power BI admin portal settings
You have to be a global admin or Power BI service admin to access the Power BI admin portal. For more information about the Power BI service administrator role, see Understanding the Power BI admin role. To get to the Power BI admin portal, follow these steps:
Sign in to Power BI using your admin account credentials.
From the page header, select ... > Settings > Admin portal.
PPU settings
You can configure the following PPU settings in the admin portal.
Auto refresh
Automatic refresh enables your active report page to query for new data, during predefined intervals. By default, these settings are turned on. If you turn them off, PPU reports that use automatic refresh and change detection won't get updated automatically.
Use the following settings to override the automatic refresh settings in individual reports that reside on the PPU capacity. For example, when the minimum refresh interval setting is configured to refresh every 30 minutes, if you have a report that's set to refresh every five minutes, its setting will be overridden and the report will be refreshed every 30 minutes instead.
Minimum refresh interval - Use to specify a minimum value for the automatic refresh for all the reports in the PPU capacity. Power BI service will override any automatic refresh settings that are higher than this setting.
Change detection measure - Use to specify a minimum value for all the reports in the PPU capacity that use change detection. Power BI service will override any change detection settings that are higher than this setting.
Dataset workload settings
XMLA endpoints allow Microsoft and third-party apps and tools to connect to Power BI datasets. Use this setting to determine if in the PPU capacity XMLA endpoints are turned off, or configured for read only or read and write.
