Helper IDataset permissions for entire organization
Hello everyone,
a few weeks ago we encountered an unexpected behaviour in Power BI Service, which we can't resolve.
We use an app to publish reports & datasets to our whole organization and had never issues regarding permissons, as long as the users had licences and were properly added in our AD structure.
The new behaviour:
Updating or publishing a new report to the whole organization will not grant everyone permissions to the underlying datasets.
From what i can tell, only the people who are part of the workspace do have permissions to the dataset.
I can resolve this by adding every user manually via the permissions tab of the dataset, but since we got many datasets across many apps this isn't a suitable way.
This results in the error: Permission Required - You cannot see the content of this report because you do not have permissions to the underlying dataset. Please contact report owner for details.
What we tried already:
- Removing said reports from the App completly & re-publish them
- Changing the datasource settings inside the reports
- Creating new audiences
Did anyone encounter something similar or got any ideas of how to fix this?
Kind regards
Chris

Hi! crisc
This sounds weird, I would advise you to raise a ticket to MS. Also, in case you go on to give perm on all the Apps. I would suggest having an AD group for your whole organization and then you can use that AD group to give perms on the datasets. First I would say raise a ticket with MS and let the expert check it.
Pls, update the post once you resolve this.

criscGood morning everyone,
it seems like there are some problems regarding the settings of our E5 licences.
The problem itself is not fixed as far as i can tell, but since i found a work around (excel list with all E5 users + copy paste them to the datasets) and i don't administer the licenses, there is not much more i can do at this point.
Kind regards
Chris
My organization has been experiencing an identical issue. If I understand correctly, the issue can be corrected internally though the organization (admins)? Or is there something I can be doing as a licence holder?
