    Pivot your thought process from Power BI structure to business needs.

    Use a separate user management tool that handles onboarding/training/periodic review and expiry/offboarding.

    Provide extracts of that tool (user lists) to your Power BI developers so they can use these lists in the RLS and OLS design.

    for Premium capacity: Do not give access to workspaces/reports/dashboards.  Only give access to apps, and try to only give access through distribution lists.
