User privilege to create new reports

Hi,

I developed few reports and dashboards from one dataset. I shared all these reports and dashboards to my business power user, he is able to access all the reports through the web (app.powerbi.com), but he is not able to create any report because "Create" option is not available in his login. I guess this is due to he is not in the owner group users of Data Insight, could any one you please confirm my theory? 

My next question is, I don't want to include him as a Data Insight owner, but I need to give him access to create his own reports. Is this possible? If this is possible please let me know how to do this. 

 

Thanks.

    Hi jaymanivannan

     

    From my understanding if you want him to create his own reports, he would have to be a member in your App Workspace.


    If you shared the reports and dashboards from "My Workspace" then the power user will not be able to create his own reports. You will need to put them into an App Workspace and then put this user as a member.

      Hi GilbertQ

      Thanks for the reply. It is not in "My work space", it is in "App Workspace " only.

       

      Thanks.

        jaymanivannan,

         

        You need to contact App Workspace owner to grant access permission to this App. So that him can use the dataset in this group and create new report based on this dataset.
