Hi @Anonymous 

 

When you assign roles to a user group, the individuals in the group have access to content. If you nest user groups, all the contained users have permission.

Here are the capabilities of the four roles: admins, members, contributors, and viewers. All of these capabilities except the last require a Power BI Pro license.
