Some or our PRO users with Build permissions on a dataset are not able to see the menu option to 'Save a Copy' of a report. This is in the new Workspace (we converted it). They are 'Viewers', and have reshare permissions and Build, but the only option they can see is 'View Related'.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It's normal, a viewer role has only read-access permission so the user with viewser role couldn't make a copy. You can also refer to doc: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-the-new-viewer-role-for-power-bi-workspaces/

@v-yuta-msft Thanks Jimmy, but I found the solution by publishing to an App.
In Apps, the build permission does allow users with Viewer role to copy reports to other workspaces.
