Providing access to SharePoint

We have just started using PowerBI. We are using the Premium Pr Capacity. We have created a workspace and added the report to the workspace. We then add a web part to the SharePoint site. As I understand it you need to assign the users permissions to the SharePoint site and the Power BI report. This is not easy to maintain. Is it possible to assign the sharepoint 365 group to the PowerBI report? Or how would you make sure that everybdy on the site can see the report with out IT always having to add news users everytime a new user is assigned to the site?

    Hi, segato 

     

    You can set up a distribution group or a security group for the new users, and then add this group to the workspace permissions, then you don’t need to add it repeatedly every time.

    Compare groups - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Docs

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

    Hey segato ,

     

    usually you would take Active Directory groups to give access.

    Can you check if that works?

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

      Unfortuntly it is a communication site, and it has no group associated. Does this mean that everytime we add a new user to the SharePoint site we would need to add permissions to the report too?
