Enhancement Request: Remove Workspace App Limit
Hi rob_caretta ,
Thanks for reaching out Microsoft fabric community.You're right, this limitation does cause overhead, especially in environments where the same reports serve multiple audiences. While Power BI currently allows only one app per workspace, a practical workaround is to leverage multiple audiences within that single app.
Microsoft introduced the “multiple audiences” feature, which lets you define custom navigation and report access for different user groups, all from one app without duplicating content or managing separate workspaces.

However, if your use case still demands multiple apps per workspace, consider upvoting or submitting an idea in the Power BI Ideas forum:

Wonderful! Thank you for that information! I see that now, wasn't aware of the Audience option.
I still think multiple apps would be a more understandable and flexible solution though. You also wouldn't have permissions packed away inside of a container and all mixed up with other permissions. That kind of design doesn't scale well.
Hi rob_caretta
I'm glad it helped!
I agree having more than one app in a workspace would make things easier to manage, especially with permissions. The audience feature is useful for now, but your idea shows why a better long-term solution is needed. It’s a good one to share on the Ideas forum.
