Access to shared dataset

Hi all,

 

I face an issue trying to share a report using a shared dataset:

I built a report in a workspace A using a shared dataset located in a workspace B. I am the administrator of the workspace A, and a "Member" on the workspace B. I had no difficulties buidling the new report on Power BI desktop and connecting to the shared dataset. However, when I publish it on my workspace A, all the viewers of the workspace A can't see the visuals using the workspace B data. They currently don't have access to the workspace B.

 

Is it mandatory to add them on the workspace B as viewers or is there an alternative solution ? It is quite a huge number of people, therefore not adding them one by one would be highly preferable.

 

All users are using Pro licences.

 

Edit: opening the report via an app didn't fix the issue.

 

Thank you for your help,

Clement.

Shared or Premium capacity?

Hi Ibendlin,

We only have Pro licences, therefore no Premium capacity.

Then yes, they have to be members of both workspaces. Use PDLs to manage it.
