Hi @ayanmazumderpbi ,

 

Workspace roles are specific to the entire workspace and cannot currently be applied to individual reports/datasets. The current workaround is to create four workspaces for report1- report4. Then assign roles for G1-G4 respectively.

 

For such kind of needs, I would suggest you submit an idea in Power BI Ideas: Ideas

It’s a place where the product group collects suggestions from users to improve the features of this product. Thanks in advance!

Hi @ayanmazumderpbi 

 

Currently in an app workspace a group/user can only belong to 1 role for the entire app workspace.
