After updating App does URL change?
I frequently modify reports in Power BI desktop and then re-publish them to an existing "App". My question is, when I "update the app" does the URL pointing to the App change? Do I have to send out the "new" link to my end users?
I ask because many people Email me saying the link they have doesn't work anymore.
Thanks
- Hi there
As far as I am aware the link should not change.
But if you unpublish the app and re-publish the app it will then create a new link.
People could also access the App from Apps in the Power BI Service.

Yes they would be different because the app was unpublished (Which means the app was deleted)
GilbertQ So, if I want to change the "Permissions" and remove a users right for "App (build)" and "reshare" on my dataset, and re-publish the report, then the link will change? (see this PowerBI thread: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Manage-Permissions-for-Dataset-in-Workspace/m-p/714477#M69942)
I set this up with a customer already, so it's not ideal that the link will change. Please let me now if there is a way to change the permssions without changing the link.
Hi Anonymous
There is a way to change permissions without having to even update the App
Go into the App Workspace, then click on Datasets.
Next click on the three dots "..." and select Manage permissions
Then once in here, you will see all the users and their permissions, which you can then update
Unfortunately an analyst in my team deleted the old files and then published a new report!!!
Can we restore the app to the old URL?
