Microsoft EmployeeShare your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
Hi team,
we had the following scenario:
We created a "golden dataset" that we use in some dashboards. If we now connect an additional data source to the dashboard an extra dataset is created for it, which makes sense, yet we have a strange phenomenon. We have set the permission for both datasets to "Read". But the users can't see the data of the "Golden Dataset" in the new dashboard. Only when we set the permission of the users in the Golden Dataset to "Build", they can see the data. Of course, this is not desired because we want to prevent users from creating their own dashboards with the dataset.
Are you aware of the problem ?
Greetings

Hi MLechner,
We have the same behaviour and to my knowledge there isn't another way around it at the moment, which is frustrating...

this is a known issue and we're investigating a fix.
Jeroen — this is the main issue blocking our use of this feature in production. We have MANY datasets and analysts want to add their own lists but build permission is not an option.
