Power BI App Allowing Share Access to Semantic Model
Hi YeahMan ,
Thank you for confirming that removing Report B, republishing the app, uploading a new copy, and re-adding it resolved the extra Share semantic model option. This reset created a new semantic model without leftover permissions.
For future updates, use a clean workspace, publish new copies of each report, and keep viewers on App-only access. Also, check the Audience › Advanced settings and Manage Permissions after each update; tenant-level or model-level “Build” restrictions can provide additional security if needed.
Please mark the helpful reply and accept it as the solution. This will be helpful for other community members who have similar problems to solve it faster.
Thank you.
Thanks Anonymous ,
We:
- removed reportB from the app,
- republished the app,
- downloaded the reportB,
- saved and reuploaded it with no changes,
- added reportB back in, and
- now it works.
My recommendations for using Apps are as follows:
- Create a new workspace
- Download the reports to be included
- Open/save in Desktop
- Publish to new workspace (gives you a fresh copy of the semanitic model)
- Create app for the new workspace
- Add in the reports
Other than Workspace Admins, all audience members should have App permissions only.
