Get Data from Power BI Service datasets
Thanks for the link to the documentation. It is very helpful, and yes, it probably answers the June vs. January question.
Regarding this caveat in the documentation, "when using the Power BI service live connection, there are a few limitations and considerations to keep in mind: Read-only members of a workspace cannot connect to datasets from Power BI Desktop."
If I understand this correctly, I would only be able to load a dataset (live connection) to my desktop if I have edit access in a workspace. However, three users I know of who (including me) have read access and are able to load the dataset to their desktop. Am I missing something? or has the functionality changed since this doc was generated?
BTW, aggreed! not all users being on the same version is another issue I am working on.....

Hi, I am actually looking to connect to the published datasets in Power BI service for use in Dataflows/Microsoft Power Apps and Flow. Here is the idea. Please vote it.
