Microsoft EmployeeI am not entirely sure what you are experiencing. Please open a support ticket so we can investigate.
Advocate IWill do. We've played with it a lot, the functionality works except for viewers essentially.

at this moment, viewers need build permissions to view reports. we are actively working on changing that, but it is an artefact of how this feature was build (no pun intended).

Ahh, ok. Do you have an ETA on when this feature may be updated? Or an active uservoice record that I could follow for updates?
- jeroenterheerdt
no ETA. We will mention it in the monthly blog and update the dedicated blog and docs as well.
Go into the PBI service and double check that you have enabled build on all datasets participating in the model. Go to the dataset in the service, click the 3 elipses --> Manage Permissions --> Direct Access --> 3 elipses next to viewer account --> Add Build. Permissions for user should be "Viewer, Build"
