Power BI Embedded
- 1 year ago
Hi p_da
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum and kudos to johnbasha33 for their helpful input.I understand you're using Power BI Embedded (App-Owns-Data) and want User A, with only Build permission on a dataset in Workspace A, to create a report and save it to their Personal Workspace using Save As, without needing Contributor role in Workspace A due to security concerns (e.g., RLS bypass). The authorization error occurs because Power BI requires write permissions (like Contributor) in Workspace A for cross-workspace saves, unless specific configurations are applied.
Use a Certified/Promoted Dataset with Tenant Settings this allows User A to save reports to their Personal Workspace with only Build permission.
- In Workspace A, go to the dataset, click the three-dot menu, select “Settings,” and mark it as Promoted (if you have permissions) or request Certification from your admin.
- Ask your tenant admin to enable “Allow users to connect to and build on datasets across workspaces” in the Power BI Admin Portal (Tenant settings > Export and sharing settings > Use datasets across workspaces) and Confirm User A has Build permission on the dataset in Workspace A (via “Manage Permissions”).
- User A creates a report in the embedded solution and uses Save As to save it to their Personal Workspace. This should now work without errors.
If this post helps, then please give us ‘Kudos’ and consider Accept it as a solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
Thank you. - In Workspace A, go to the dataset, click the three-dot menu, select “Settings,” and mark it as Promoted (if you have permissions) or request Certification from your admin.
