Couldn't Load the Schema for the Database Model

Problem, certain users are getting "Couldn't Load the Schema for the Database Model - We couldn't retrieve the data model for this report. Please try again later."

 

The Power BI report is published in a Premium workspace and distributed via an app to Power BI Free users. It connects directly to a data model in Azure Analysis Services where RLS is applied.

 

Users report when they view the report, some data is show for a moment, and then replaced by X's and the above error message.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

@nwrong Have you confirmed that the users are in the appropriate group, or have permissions to the role that you are using for RLS?

Typically when I see this it is a result of something not jiving on the permissions level in the model or AS instance.

Thanks, yes users are in the right group and permissions.

Was this resolved?

We are getting this error as well for a report that was shared with us. All users trying to access the report are PowerBI Pro users, all internal to our organization. It's a SQL Server Analysis Services database. Our network admin got us the proper permissions for the server where it resides, however we are still getting the error.

That smells like a support ticket, support.powerbi.com.
