No option for removing users with viewer level access

I'm seeing no option for removing a viewer user from the access list for the power bi report I own.

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

After testing, the Viewer on this page is the Viewer in the workspace permissions and has read permissions in the dataset. This page can not be deleted directly, only in the workspace access can be deleted.

There should be a single location to address these and other user management tasks...

I can edit the users in the overall group, but I cannot remove a user for the report-based sharing.

 

There is a remove option for the "Read" access users:

But, if i open the popup for the viewer user, i don't see the remove option:

I am an admin and the report owner.

 

I see the ability to remove users with read access, but not with viewer access

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Please check in workspace access if you are an Admin and if you have remove access to Viewer?
