Adding AD security groups to PowerBI app workspace

[BSLATTER]

Hi all,

I have an active directory group created that is synced to my organizations Azure AD. It is a security group in AD.

According to doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-the-new-workspaces

I should be able to add this security group as a member to my workspace (the new app workspace in PowerBI). I do not see it however. Is there any other constraints I should be keeping in mind?

Could you post an screenshot here? Were you able to type into security group? Did you get any error message?

What would you like a screenshot of? When I try typing in a Security AD group (any) none of them are populating in a new App Workspace, or in the old way workspace method.

I just get an error that this isn't a valid email if I try to tab it in anyways.

Did you solve this? I have the same problem

I seem to be having the same problem... just created a new workspace and cannot add a security group nor office 365 group to the ACCESS list for the new workspace... Anyone have a resolution?

Thanks

Hi @mwaters4, 

I would check with your Active Directory team and ask them to double-check the AAD syncs. In my case it turned out to be an issue where an OU was not being synced.
