For content in a premium capacity, free users should be able to subscribe to reports. This is a huge disadvatge for enterprises making use of the premium license! While other things are on the roadmap such as admins being able to manage subscriptions for others, this feauture is still missing!

Free users can subscribe themselves to reports and dashboards saved in a Premium capacity. See the following documentation for more details: https://learn.microsoft.com/power-bi/consumer/end-user-subscribe?tabs=creator.

RE: Enable Subscriptions for Free Users in Premium

This is a big miss it is preventing the adoption of powerbi vs Tableau. In tableau server (equivalent to PBI premium wkspace) read only users can create and managee their own subscription. Don’t think the subscription is worth additional $10/month on top of our enterprise premium license cost. We will continue to use tableau teports until this issue is resolved

I was shocked to see that users couldn't subscribe to the reports on our premium capacity. This is especially important because we are connecting to live data in Azure Analysis Services and cannot create subscriptions for others.
