Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Currently, you could add individual users or groups to a workspace.

 

And there are four kinds of groups that can be added into Power BI workspace: Microsoft 365 groups, Distribution groups, Security groups and Mail-enabled security groups. You could create a group in Microsoft 365 admin center and then add part of users to one of these groups. Even you still need add user one by one to a group, this will help you simplify the addition operation and management in the future. You can control a group of users permissions to a workspace easily. For more details about creating a group, please refer to Create a group in the admin center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Docs.

 

After creating groups, you could add them to a workspace as Admins, Members, Contributors, or Viewers. Users in the groups will have corresponding permissions to this workspace. Different roles of a workspace have different scopes of permissions to the workspace. For more details, please have a look at these official documents.

@Anonymous While I do not know your particular situation, in general, that is a very bad idea. The only users that should be provided a role in a workspace are those that are adding and contributing content. You should publish the App of the content that you want everyone to see and that allows you to specify a security group that could include all users.

 

I believe that you can add groups such as a mail-enabled security group or Microsoft 365 group to a workspace with a specific role but I really do not recommend that approach.
