    Hi JulesMarquis 

     

    Here are a couple of steps and considerations to help troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Check Dataset Sharing Permissions: The error message suggests there might be a restriction on the dataset that limits the number of users who can access it. In Power BI, managing dataset permissions is crucial to ensure the right users have access. Since you're using the free version, remember that direct sharing of dashboards or reports is limited to users within the same email domain unless all users have a Pro license. For more details on managing dataset permissions, please refer to this documentation: Manage semantic model access permissions - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    2. Review Power BI Service Limits: The free version of Power BI has certain limitations in terms of sharing and data refresh capabilities. It's important to ensure that your usage aligns with these limits. Since the issue is occurring for only some users, it might be related to how they are accessing the data or their individual settings.

    Hello,

    Thanks a lot for your answer !

    Unfortunately since I use the free version I can't access the "manage permission" page...

    The issue I have concerns people within my organisation, so within the same email domain.

     

    I will check individual settings for users who have a problem with the refresh.

     

    Regards
