Configure access to a specific Report via API

[cr4zydrummer]

Hi, I'm deep-searching for a solution to automate the provisioning of the access of a user to a specific Report X in a workspace Y.

It seems to be impossible to do it "directly". I was expecting an API to call like "setReportAccessRight" by inputting userID, reportID and a right level (es. READ).

Do any of you confirm that there is no way to do it at report level?

There is any workaround to implement this kind of process?

Take a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/update-report-content

even if I think it didn't do what I mean,

Thanks!

This is utterly impossible.  All workspace users have access to all workspace artifacts. That's why it is called a workspace.

Regular report users access reports via apps, and specifically by being a member of an app audience.  None of this stuff is covered by any API. Best you can do is use PDLs for your audiences and then control PDL membership programmatically.
