    Hi rebeccaETE 

    If people can see all data without being assigned any security role, they should have edit permission in Power BI workspace. There are two kinds of app workspace in Power BI Service.

    New workspace: admins, members and contributors have edit permission.

    You may refer to this blog about roles in new workspace.

    Classic workspace: only has two roles admin and member. Admin can assign edit or view permission to member in this classic workspace.

    For reference:Create a classic workspace based on a Microsoft 365 group

    Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it. Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your problem.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi Anonymous 

 

Yes, that is exactly what I found. Just didn't know that workspace membership (with that I mean members, admins and contributors) was called "edit permission". Still new to all this terminology ðŸ˜…

 

What I was afraid of originally was that people not assigned any security role could view the data as default, since I heard many say that the default permission is equivalent to read in Tabular Editor. But I found that that was not the case, so I'm more confident with using OLS now. 

 

Thanks for taking your time with this

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Yes, thank you for clarifying. That answered my question of why OLS did not work for my two colleagues and myself, as we are part of the workspace. 

     

    Cheers!
