Shared dataset permissions groups
Hello,
I have a question about shared dataset and permissions. In workspace 1 I have a dataset and In workspace 2 I have a report. In the dataset I can only give permission in the dataset to a user but I want to give this to a group. Is that possible?

I believe you could as long as you have a security group for the email group.
Refer to the documentation
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-datasets-build-permissions
Quote:
Members of the workspace where the dataset resides can assign the permission to specific users or security groups in the Permission center. If you're a member of the workspace, select More options (...) next to a dataset > Manage Permissions.I checked in our environment and we do have couple of groups.
If it helps, mark it as a solution
Kudos are nice too

Hi Anonymous ,
Yes, this is an existing feature where you could use in "Manage Permissions".
You could also use Group REST API like
POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/usersFor more details, please refer to power bi rest api reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/groups/addgroupuser
How can we add permissions on Shared Datasets using the Group REST API? What would be the call look like since AccessRights parameter only takes Workspace access rights (except for Viewer).
Thanks

hi Anonymous - you can create groups at dataset level as outlined in Microsoft docs link below
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-rls
You can refer to the below post for details on how to test this across reports
