Access to the workspace

Hello,

if i add a member to security group but the workspace doesn't reflect to his account

it's the same tenant and same domain
so what's the reason for that?

Workspace access via security group may not show up immediately due to:

Sync delay (can take hours).

Unsupported group type (must be mail-enabled/M365 group).

User needs to sign out/in.

@ahmedshalabyy12 To clarify, you added an Entra Security Group to a role such as Member or Contributor to the workspace, correct? You then added the user to that security group, correct?

Hello @ahmedshalabyy12,

 

Here you can see the Microsoft’s documentation about access to workspace (the link is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/give-access-workspaces).

 

Sometimes, access via security groups can take a few minutes to sync. In some cases, the user may need to refresh the page or sign out/sign in to see the workspace appear.

 

Also, could you please double-check that the security group is properly assigned to the workspace? You can do this by clicking on the workspace > “Manage access” and verifying that the group is listed.

 

Hope it can helps ! 

Best regards,

Antoine

Hello ,

we have prem workspace . already added 5 users to the workspace except him 
he found nothing (no access)
asked him to login and logout  same prob
asked him to open from another pc  another browser and same prob 😞

dunno what to do 

If it's a prem workspace, he needs a power bi premium per user license to access

i mean prem capacity so free license can view it

Does this worker have the necessary PowerBI license to view the workspace?

 

If you follow the steps from this video it should work
