Distribution Best Practices

Hi Fellow BI Users,

 

I am looking for some advise on determining the best approach to provide access to dashboards to my team that gives 10 members a "sandbox" that they can configure as they see fit while maintaining a "Master" workspace. We are currently implementing a Pilot initiaitve to determine if we can leverage and distribute  power bi dashboards to 1600 nyc public school principals.  For the pilot, I want them to be able to adjust the reports within the dashboard as they see fit while maintaining a master dashboard.

 

All users have Power BI Pro Licesnses. 

 

Do I create 10 different app or do I create 10 different workspaces?

Is there a way to make a duplicate dasboard without going to each tile and republishing to a new dashboard (I have 50 tiles/reports).

 

Currently when I give them permission to edit dashboard, if they save and manupulate components that other users may want  I have to go into the dashboard and reconfigure the properties.

 

In general, I haven't been able to find any documentation on methods/best practices on giving teams access to dashboards.

 

Note: I also put in a support ticket and was advise to use Content Packs, which seems odd as I thought Power BI was sunsetting the content packs and moving to APPs.

 

Please advise.

 

Here is a snapshot of the dashboard.

      Hi Daniel He,

       

      I don't think this method would also duplicate the associated reports to the dashboard.  The documention you provided doesn't specify this and if a user edits an underlying report, that "Master" report would be edited.

       

      I would like to provide my team with a complete copy of the dashboard and associated reports for them to edit.

       

      Does this make sense?
