Hi,

 

As mentionned in the limitations of the feature, only users that have Build permission on the datasets can see the report/visuals (4th bullet point):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-directquery-datasets-azure-analysis-services#considerations-and-limitations

 

The build permission is not something we necessarly want to grant to any user who wants to consult the «composite» report ... is there any workaround for this limitation?

 

Thanks,

 

Gabriel

    thanks for the feedback, this is something we're planning to change: just 'read' permissions will be required when we make this feature generally available.

      Hi! Do we have any updates regarding the read-only release for using two sets in PRO environments?

        we are still waiting on infrastructure changes to happen in the datacenters across the globe before we can make this available to PRO.

    Yes! Weird to give changing priviledge to someone would be only reading the dataset outside the original report - a Power BI thin report or in Excel.
