Using a semantic model
Hi user34567890987 ,
sorry for the delay in response!!
This looks like a composite model / DirectQuery connection to another semantic model, rather than a Build-permission issue. Since the visuals work in Desktop but fail after publishing with OnPremiseServiceException, check the following as suggested above :
- Make sure the tenant setting Allow DirectQuery connections to Power BI semantic models is enabled.
- In the published semantic model, check Settings -> Gateway and cloud connections / Data source credentials and ensure all connections are configured.
- If the source semantic model ultimately uses an on-premises data source, verify that the On-premises Data Gateway is online and correctly mapped.
- Also confirm both models are in the same Power BI tenant.
Microsoft specifically notes that composite models based on another semantic model require all credentials to be set in the Power BI Service

Thanks!!
Super UserCould you please send a screenshot of the area experiencing so we can help you with that?
It will not let me upload screenshots for whatever reason, but the error reads:
"An exception occurred due to an on premise service issue"
upon seeing more details, it reads:
"Error fetching data for this visual. Couldn't retrieve the data for this visual. Please try again later. Please check the technical details for more information."
those details include:
"Underlying error: OnPremiseServiceException"Hope this helps, thank you!
