Set "Build"-permission for a dataset programmatically
In our workspace in PowerBI service there is a shared dataaset.
The users for this workspace are changing very often, so I created a script in PowerShell to process a list of users and grant them "View" permissions to the workspace.
Now we found out, that users additionally need a "build"-permission granted on a shared dataset - otherwise they are not able to export data to excel (see Build permission for shared datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Docs).
Is there any solution (PowerShell, Rest-API, .....) to grant the build permisssion for a shared dataset porgrammatically ?

Instead of granting access to users consider to move your access process to distribution lists, and manage list membership outside of Power BI.
Hi Tom-CK ,
I'm afraid there isn't such a API for now. You could create a new idea to help improve power bi.

As lbendlin mentioned earlier, you can also use it as an alternative .
