Control the permission for developer

Hi all, @v-qiuyu-msft  @v-juanli-msft 

 

Assume we have two developers in a Workspace, they need the permission to publish the report to PowerBI Service or republish the report, how can we ban the view permission for one developer on the report and dataset developed by another developer.

 

We need one developer cannot see the content owned by another developer. We are considering using the Contributer role for the developers, but this role will get the permission on all content in the workspace automatically.

 

Best Regards,

Tegie

You cannot do that in one workspace.
You could set up a multi-workspace environment for this.
So workspace A is for Dev1 and dataset1.
Workspace B is for Dev2 and dataset2.

If they are allowed to see the report, then you can create a workspace C, which is for the reports they create from the datasets.
Otherwise have them create the reports also in A + B.

Since both developers have Contributor role, you cannot change their permission of a specific dataset. The only role you can ban them from dataset is the Viewer but that is not suitable as you want both developer has certain permission within the workspace. 

 

The workaround for you is to create an additional workspace for each developer.
