    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Try below fixes:-

     

    Check if User Already Exists (Hidden) - Workspace → Access → Search user

    Also check in AD group memberships (If found → remove → wait 2–5 min → re-add)

    Add via Security Group

    1. Create Security Group in Azure AD
    2. Add user to group
    3. Add group to workspace

    Try Different Role First

    Try adding as Member or Contributor and then downgrade the role to viewer

     

    Try adding from Power BI browser instead of teams/fabric or Use Manage Access panel vs Share button

     

    Remove a few users from group, wait for few minutes and try re-adding them

     

    Try creating a new workspace (replicate Old one) and adding the user to that group

     

    If you can't create a new workspace as it is a critical production workspace then raise a ticket with Microsoft with 

    1. Workspace ID
    2. Timestamp
    3. User UPN
