Viewer Role Access query

sushbhr02 — Thu, 27 May 2021 11:40:30 GMT

I want to give access to a end user(doesnt have PRO license) to create report from Datasets residing in a particular workspace.

Does providing VIEWER role in the workspace will give him the access to create report in the Desktop(using power bi dataset connector)

yes, but you also need to give them build permission.

When using the Power BI service live connection, there are a few limitations and considerations to keep in mind.

Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset using the Power BI service live connection.
Free users only see datasets in their My Workspace and in Premium-based workspaces.

Your end user is a free user, so your workspace needs to be a Premium-based workspace. Or he couldn't get access to the dataset in this workspace.
