Hi @jarod3477  The error typically indicates a permissions issue when trying to publish a report in Power BI that is connected to a composite model. To resolve this error, you should ensure that the user has the necessary permissions on both the dataset being used by the report (the “Base” dataset) and any composite models (the “Proxy” dataset) that reference the Base dataset.

Hope the following documents will help you solve your problem:
