Below F64, every report viewer needs a licence

On F2 to F32 Fabric capacities, every Power BI viewer needs a Pro or PPU licence. From F64 up, a free licence and the Viewer role is enough.

Subway, transport, train, metro, urban

One Fabric sizing detail that changes your licence bill.

On F2 to F32 capacities, every person who views Power BI content needs a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User licence. From F64 up, viewers with a free Fabric licence and the Viewer role can open reports. Microsoft Learn spells this out in its Premium-to-Fabric migration FAQ.

Authors are different: anyone who creates or edits content in a shared workspace needs Pro or PPU on every capacity size.

So when you size a capacity, count your report viewers, not just your workloads.
