 Dynamic per recipient subscriptions are designed to simplify distributing a personalized copy of a report to each recipient of an email subscription. You define which view of the report an individual receives by specifying which filters are applied to their version of the report.
 
 Dynamic per recipient subscriptions are available for paginated reports and for Power BI reports. This article pertains to Power BI reports. To learn about dynamic subscriptions for paginated reports, see [Dynamic per recipient subscriptions for paginated reports](dynamic-subscriptions.md).
 
-The dynamic subscription filters are stored in a separate Power BI semantic model. The semantic model defines the mapping between recipients and respective filters. When it’s time to send out the report, the latest data available in your semantic model determines who receives a subscription and with what filters applied. In the example used in this article, the separate semantic model contains employee data, including email addresses. Our task is to create subscriptions for managers. Each manager receives only data for their own employees.

 ## Prerequisites
 
 - A report to share that is saved in a workspace backed by a capacity ([Power BI Premium capacity](../enterprise/service-premium-what-is.md), [Microsoft Fabric trial](/fabric/get-started/fabric-trial), or [Microsoft Fabric capacity](/fabric/enterprise/licenses)).
 - Build permissions to a Power BI semantic model that contains recipient data. This data includes the email addresses of your recipients and filter values that should be applied for each recipient.  
 - A Contributor, Member, or Admin role in that workspace. You know that you have the Contributor, Member, or Admin role in a workspace if you're able to edit reports or dashboards in that workspace. Read more about [Roles in workspaces](service-roles-new-workspaces.md).

     In some organizations, there might be a corporate employee Power BI semantic model that fits the purpose. Or, you might need to create a new semantic model that contains email addresses, and values for report filters. The critical piece of data is the email addresses. In order for you to set the filters on a per-recipient basis, the semantic model needs to include the email addresses of all potential recipients. Select **Next**. In this example, our mapping semantic model is named **Contoso sales employees**.
