Datasets are visible to members of a read-only group

[Sweet-T]

Hi all,

I've set-up a workspace to have Privacy settings = "Members can only view Power BI content". The datasets and reports contained in this workspace have RLS enabled. My understanding was that Members of the group (not Admins) would not be able to even view, let alone download, the datasets. 

Interstingly, some of my users assigned as members cannot see the Datasets (or Workbooks/Dataflows), while others can see everything (and download!). This flip-flops sporatically, I can't understand it. Is this a known bug/am I misunderstanding the purpose of the View-Only privacy settings? 

Like everyone, I have sensitive data contained in these datasets that I cannot have users accessing. I've scoured the web but to no avail. 

I'd appreciate some education on the subject or any information you can provide. 

Thanks!

Hi @Sweet-T,

Please check the permission assigned to workspace members again to make sure they do have view only permission. Besides, did you share reports or dashboards with those members?

I believe I have found the error. The permissions of the Workspace within PBI are set to "View Only", however, this is an O365 group. Within this group, these members are set to have Edit access. I have not tried it yet, but I believe restricting members to Read Only here will solve the problem? Let me know if otherwise.

However, this still does not explain why some users can see the Datasets and others cannot (they are all assigned the same level of permissions in RLS, the O365 group and Power BI service).

@Sweet-T hello, you do something wrong! 

When you gave acess into workspace, you giving acess to datasets and all reports, but you just limit users to view or edit.

To acess only to see a specific report, you must use this step below:
