Difference between permissions on report level vs semantic model level?

Hi BadThingsTake - The two options—“Allow recipients to build content with the data associated with this report” and “Allow recipients to build content with the data associated with this dataset”—serve similar purposes but differ in scope and use cases.

Report Level:

you want to share a specific report and allow users to create ad hoc visualizations or reports based on its data, without giving them full access to the dataset in the workspace.
The dataset might contain sensitive data, and you want to limit user access to only the fields available in the report.
You want to provide flexibility for data exploration while maintaining control over the dataset access at a narrower level.

Data level:

You want to share the semantic model or dataset directly with team members for creating diverse reports.
The dataset is well-governed and structured, allowing trusted users to freely explore the full model and create tailored analytics.
