    Hi Adam13Hylo

    Testing on my site,It is possible to connect to Sharepoint resources with read permission in Power BI.

     

    Admin-Office 365 Admin

    User A- has a Power BI Pro account which is belong to the organization as Admin does

     

    In Sharepoint online, Admin change the permission for User A as Read permission to the Home site,

    User A can connect to the lists from that site (with only read permission) in Power BI Desktop.

     

    Best Regards

    Maggie
