Enable Power BI Copilot for Specific Reports Within a Workspace

[neverpingbr88]

Hello, I've recently been running some tests on using Copilot in Power BI within my company and came across a question.

Copilot was initially enabled in a workspace that contains around 10 reports. However, not all of these reports are suitable for Copilot usage. I would like to enable Copilot per report, meaning that out of those 10, only 1 should have Copilot enabled.

Does anyone know if it's possible to enable Copilot for specific reports within a Power BI workspace?

Hi @neverpingbr88 
Thank You for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Thank you @lbendlin  , @tayloramy  and @Poojara_D12  all for your valuable input and thoughtful feedback on this topic. We truly appreciate the detailed responses from everyone.

Based on the latest Microsoft documentation copilot access in Power BI is managed at the user (tenant) level. This means a user's access to Copilot depends on their license and the settings set by the tenant or Power BI administrator. Although access is determined at the user level, Copilot consumption  is attributed to the workspace where the activity occurs as mentioned by Ibendlin. 

Currently, Copilot cannot be enabled or restricted at the individual report level within a workspace. Once a user has access to Copilot, it is available across all reports in that workspace.

I hope this information is helpful. . If you have any further questions, please let us know. we can assist you further.

Regards,

Microsoft Fabric Community Support Team.

 Copilot in Power BI is enabled at the workspace level, not the individual report level.

That is incorrect.  Access is on user level. CU consumption is on workspace level.

Hi @neverpingbr88, 

As @lbendlin mentioned, this isn't possible. I thought I'd add some links to the documentation so you can read about what exists yourself and not just take our word for it. 

See Microsoft’s docs on enabling Copilot and scope controls: Enable Fabric Copilot for Power BI, Copilot overview, Use Copilot in Desktop, Standalone/app-scoped Copilot, and Prep semantic models for AI.

If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.

Not possible. This is controlled on user level, not on report level. 

What you can do is require the "Prep data for AI" to have some data. That can block them for a while.
