# Interact with the Power BI service as a *Free user*

[!INCLUDE[consumer-appliesto-ynnn](../includes/consumer-appliesto-ynnn.md)]

As a Power BI service user with a free license, you explore content (such as reports, apps, scorecards, dashboards, and more) in order to make business decisions. That content is created by *designers* who have Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) licenses. In order to share it with users with free licenses, designers need to publish that content to a group workspace backed by a Premium capacity. Premium capacity provides the benefit of unlimited content sharing. Sometimes, designers share content by sending you links to content such as a Power BI app [Apps in the Power BI service](end-user-apps.md), and sometimes the [content automatically installs](end-user-apps.md) and appears in Power BI under **Apps** or **Browse** > **Shared with me**.

There are many different ways designers can share content. But this article is for Power BI users with a free license, and therefore only describes how "free users" receive and interact with content. For more information on other ways to share content, see [Ways to share your work in Power BI](../collaborate-share/service-how-to-collaborate-distribute-dashboards-reports.md).
