Allowing free users to try Pro for 60 days will put them under consideration that they are Pro users and once the trial ends there will be lot of questions on having their Trial back. This seems to be a marketing strategy but we need the ability to turn off the prompts asking a user to try Pro for free. Users can also create lot of content in 60 days and lose the ability to use it after 60 days trial ends.

Popups, requests to upgrade to premium for free users makes sense if they are not in an active directory corporate account. However, if there are free users consuming reports created by premium users then it is tricky to have all this interference with report consumption because these are corporate users and many do not have permissions to upgrade or invite others to the work space. Please remove this option.

Popups, requests to invite others to the workspace, requests to complete surveys, requests to upgrade to premium for free users makes sense if they are not in an active directory corporate account.

Please add an option under the Power BI tenant admin settings to disable the trial offer completely or restrict it to a certain group only.
As a large Enterprise we don't want any Free user accessing the Pro features unless we have explicitly allowed it

RE: Ability to hide "Try Pro for free" under Premium tenant

This prompt doesn't seem to be suitable for an enterprise solution where we centralise licensing of Microsoft products. Allowing users to create their own pro license without going through a procurement process means IT and/or licensing departments have no visibility of which users are currently on a pro license and then when the trail license inevitably ends IT departments will find themselves in a position of dealing with users who've upgraded but should never have had the ability to author reports and dashboards so for a single user this presents an issue of explaining why they shouldn't have upgraded and then consolidating any bodies of work they've authored in that time but then when your enterprise solution is aimed at thousands in an organisation this can soon get unsustainable.

this causes us a lot of licensing and trust concerns

We have many users (500+) consuming reports via the Power BI (Free) tier because we have Power BI Premium. Every now and then on random intervals, a popup box appears asking us to give feedback for the Power BI product. We're an enterprise deployment, so we want to hide that.

Perhaps have a central option to hide NPS popups?
