I have a similar setup and I'm seeing the exact same behavior.  Has anyone found a way to fix this without granting extra security rights?

    Hi All, 

     

    Just a brief update to others who may also be experiencing this issue. 

     

    I had initially granted access to all users as a workaround to this issue. However, as there was no resolution forthcoming, and to avoid users making changes directly to all files, I decided to grant elevated access only to excel files. That is, elevate access only to excel (.xlsx) files on the portal. 

     

    Although this may be time consuming (updating access on a case by case basis), from a governance perspective, this seems to be a [slightly] more sustainable approach compared to blanket elevated access to all reports. 

     

    Hope this assists and I welcome any feedback should there be a better alternative or (better yet) a fix!

     

    Regards,
    Rahul
