AD groups in Power BI (Office 365) groups
Anonymous
Is this a possibillity today? No
If not, will it be in the future? Don't know
If not, what is the "best practice" solution in this case? My typical approach is to use Group workspaces to organize departments of Report Authors and use them as the central point to share reports with end users. In this manner, you can share a dashboard with an AD group with no issues, and the reports are all managed in one location.
As opposed to creating a seperate Group Workspace for a set of individuals. This also includes the problem that now the end user has to hunt around several Group Workspaces to try to find reports if they belong to several Groups. Whereas with the first approach and good naming standards, everything is in their workspace to be viewed.
Anonymous Yes. I don't want to be in the business of User management in Power BI.
If I want to share a dashboard to 100 users, let the access be dictated by IT and AD.

Interesting solution you propose. Will definately follow up on that.
A question on what you said. Is it so that I can share a dashboard (and the underlying reports and datasets) with an AD group and the AD group in a way that if I later add a user to the AD group that user automatically has access to the dashboard?
