Hi,
I have created a new report using 2 existing data sets in the same workspace via direct query. When I try to share the report trough link, with someone who is not in that workspace the visuals are not being dispalyed and the bellow error message appears.
Have anyone faced the same situation and if so what did you do to clear this error?
A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of '{"protocol":"analysis-services","address":{"server":"powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/.....","database":"Datasetname"},"authentication":null,"query":null}
When sharing report connected to a shared dataset, end user should have view access to the dataset to which the reports has been connected
