    No, there's no workaround.

     

    Your only option is the separate tenant. It's not complex: create a new tenant, deploy your semantic model there, and grant them access. The cost is just the license fees for those users.

     

    This isn't a technical limitation - it's proper security design. Don't circumvent it.
