2 years agoThe way it is supposed to work is that you publish the app, give your users read and build access to the app, then they (one time) register the app and can use the XMLA endpoints.
You can technically do all this via the workspace but that is not a recommended approach when you are on Premium.

2 years agoThank you, but apps and xmla endpoint are not the things I'm asking about here.
This document describes what I want to do https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-report-lifecycle-datasets
It just doesn't work like this in our capacity, so probably I should raise a support case.

give it at least a try. In our experience that is how it works. Once they register the app they can select the semantic model in their Power BI Desktop.
