Request Access Unnecessary

Question

When users have direct access to a report, but they click on the link that contains "/groups/me/reports/", it still initiates a request for access. This seems like a bug. If a user already has access, Power BI should realize this and give them access. Am I right?

Hi&nbsp;ybarsabal&nbsp;
Can you please provide more details on how you are referring to the&nbsp;"/groups/me/reports/"?

ybarsabal · Answer

When people access reports through the "Shared with me" list, the url contains "/groups/me/" instead of "/groups/[workspaceid]/".

Hi
&nbsp;
That could be, because the report was shared from a users "My Workspace"
&nbsp;
I would check that?

Hi&nbsp;ybarsabal&nbsp;,
According test ,if the report shared in&nbsp; myworkspace,the url will be:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/reportid/ReportSection?language=en-US&nbsp;

And if the report shared&nbsp; not in&nbsp; myworkspace,the url will be:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/workspaceid/reports/a06d549f-7488-4567-bd7a-58702df4d2cd/ReportSection?language=en-US

Also, in my test, when there is permission to access the report, there is no difference between accessing through the link and clicking share wish me, both return directly to the report page.
&nbsp;
Wish it is helpful for you!

Thanks for the reply, but the behavior I described still persists in my organization.&nbsp;
