Default build permission?

[IC_SLFLORES]

HI all - i'm trying to figure out what part of my setup has a hiccup in it. I have a large group of viewers in a workspace that I do not want to have build permission on any datasets. I publish the report, check the app - and indeed the option to build is off. BUT when i go into permissions for the dataset, it shows build permission and share permission. Is there a way to publish a report into a workspace with build permissions off by default?

Hi @IC_SLFLORES ,

Users with viewer permissions in the workspace cannot be shared with others through the public a report.

Users who get build permissions before you turn off the build permission option are not automatically revoked from their privileges and need to be manually revoked.

The permissions you gave to other viewers when you previously published the report can be modified through the management permissions.

You also can de-select these options when you share the dataset.

To modify the permissions, please refer to the following document: Manage dataset access permissions - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

If you want to publish a report into a workspace with build permissions off by default, you can give the users CONTRIBUTOR permission in the workspace.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you -- I was looking for a default setting that didn't require me to go in to each user to remove the build access. I recently revoked it on the app, changed thier role to viewer and have since published several new reports into the workspace which are still granting them build rights. I have revoked the ability to share a report outside of our domain, we just want to prent users from building from the dataset at all.

Hi @IC_SLFLORES ,

For reports and datasets published before modifying permissions, the viewer's build permission can only be manually canceled,

but you can adjust the permissions in the published report, there is no default setting to turn off the build permission.

For specific usage and limitations of build premission, you can refer to the following document: Build permission for shared datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.

You may also use Rest API.

Hope this helps you.

This is strange, I have modified it in the app, double checked -- the build option in the app settings is off. They are all set to viewer and I have published several reports since adjusting both of those options. All reports that have been published after those options were changed are still showing build rights to those individuals.

Hi @IC_SLFLORES 

Yes there is you can view my blog below where I describe how to share with read only permissions.

THanks, I'm looking for a default option so I don't have to adjust in on a by user basis.
