Build permission not working
Hi, Anonymous
From my point of view, I still believe that the end-user can not both have build permission to this dataset and RLS worked on him. These two cases tell the similar thing about my opinion:

But it’s very weird that the end-user can’t find the dataset when the report and build permission are shared to him. Because I can find the dataset and the report when I tested the sharing with build permission using the end-user account:
If you still want to make the end-user have both build permission to this dataset and RLS worked on him. I suggest you to go to open a support ticket and ask the technical support team for possiblity of solution of this problem.

Hi, Anonymous
I don’t think users’ access to the dataset is related to the existence of RLS. It’s only about permission given.
What’s more, RLS can always work on the viewers of the workspace in my opinion.
Would you like to try to change the users’ role to Member or contributor in the workspace and check if they can build reports using this dataset?

HI v-robertq-msft,
Thanks for your response. I agree that RLS is not the case - that was my point, despite the RLS on/off Viewers with build can not create reports.
I have checked other access levels and this is how it looks:
- Member - can create a report / RLS does not apply
- Contributor - can create a report / RLS does not apply
- Viewer with Build - can not create a report / RLS applies

The test result is the same as I expected.😁 Thank you for your understanding and detailed experiment for each role in the workspace, which can also help other community members a lot. Would you like to accept your own reply as a solution so that other community members can learn from this too?
Thank you very much!

Hello,
I still do not see any solution. From what I understand from Build permission for shared datasets document, Viewer with Build permission should be able to create reports - my post only proves that in my case it is not working that way. Either the documentation is misleading, or I am not getting it right. Could you please advise?
