Sharing Reports
- 10 years ago
Anonymous Erm - I would have proposed to publish the report to his own PBI account, create a PBI group, then either a) create content pack and import report into group or b) upload PowerBI file into group.
Did you exclude that on purpose or did I miss sth here? :o
// Was he referring to the desktop app only?

Bjoern Thanks for the feedback.
I took the question as it relates to sharing a single report. I look at Groups as collaborative spaces, not spaces to import users and pull things in to the group in whatever manner to "share".
I agree that a workable option would be to pull the file into a Group, and grant the user "view" perms, but I didn't assume that there would be a whole set of reports they should have view ability for.
I did recommend Content Packs as an option, personally I wouldn't recommend using Content Packs in the way you describe primarily due to my view of how to utilize Groups. (Although it may work)
- WillT10 years agoCommunity AdminYou're both right - Groups would be an option to share the report specifically, but it's a workaround and not intuitive :) This is something we want to fix in the future! Thanks
