I have a user who is getting access to Power BI Datasets (Semantic Models) when he is using Excel Power Query, get data, Power BI Datasets beyond what I show he has permission to view.
I have checked:
The report permissions for all reports that use that model
The Semantic model permissions
App permissions that include any reports that use that dataset
Workspace permissions
Made sure he was logged into Excel using his personal AD account
Is there somewhere else I should be checking?
Are you making these featured tables?
