Microsoft EmployeeShare your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
Microsoft EmployeeHello FraukjeC , thanks for checking in! mamsteroonie is right, we changed the required permissions for Premium/PPU to just require Read permissions for viewing a report. Right now for Pro you still need Build. We are working on aligning that to Premium/PPU but it is taking longer than expected.
Hi jeroenterheerdt and mamsteroonie, thank you both for your information! We are indeed aware that within Premium/PPU licencing this issue is resolved. However, we have invested majorly in taking our full organisation to the next data-driven level by providing Power BI Pro licenses for all (5000+) employees only one year ago, so for us currenlty moving on to Premium/PPU licencing is not an option.
jeroenterheerdt I feel very optimistic hearing that Microsoft are actively working on removing the Build limitation for Pro users. This could mean that simply 'wait and work with the current limitation' might be a valid option for right now. Could you provide any time of timepath for this limitation to be fully dealt with for Pro users? Could we expect this within the current calendar year (2023) perhaps?

Unfortunately I cannot say any such thing in this public forum, but we are working on a blog post that should shed some light on what you're asking. (By the way, congrats on the 500th message in this thread!)
It has come to our attention that this issue has been solved! I have not found any official Microsoft communication regarding this, but we discovered it ourselves and found a blog post by A Guy In A Cube comfirming this (start at 5:23):

this has indeed not been resolved for all workspaces / customers. We are still working on it. We expect more news in April.
