Hi jaryszek,
Thank you for the update.
In addition to the points already mentioned by @ cengizhanarslan, please consider the following, which may help resolve the issue:
- The default DirectLake semantic model inherits the Lakehouse or Warehouse security model and does not have its own independent permissions. It is not treated as a standalone Power BI dataset and behaves more like an embedded or system managed model.
- Custom semantic models support enterprise governance features such as deployment pipelines and broader governance scenarios. Custom semantic models are user managed, whereas the default semantic model is system managed and optimised for simplicity.
Microsoft has announced sunsetting or strategic shift away from default semantic models in favour of explicitly created semantic models.

Thank you.
