I set up a cross report drill through that works for me but not for users. The two PBI reports are in the same work space.
I found this note from the Microsoft site:
"You can't use cross-report drill through with individually-shared "Shared with me reports". To use cross-report drill through, you must access reports in workspaces that you're a member of."
Both reports are published to the same work space. I'm not aware of any other way to share reports than this:
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @clarkpaul ,
Do you have access to the workspace of the report?
Check the document.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-cross-report-drill-through
It says:
You can't use cross-report drill through with individually-shared Shared with me reports. To use cross-report drill through, you must access reports in workspaces that you’re a member of.

I'm unable to create a workspace since that feature is disabled by our tenant admin. So, I'm unable to use the cross report drill through feature. Thanks

So what is the workaround to let end-users have access to Cross-Report Drill Through? It's a cool feature but I'm having users test and they can't see it due to restrictions listed here. We have hundreds of users that use reports but only 4 admin/developers are part of the workspace.
