Export Data from Visual without Build Permissions
Hi Anonymous
You could put the dataset in an App workspace, create reports/dashboards here, then publish the finished apps to large groups of people in your organization.
In this way, users can see the reports, export summary data from a report visualization, make a copy of reports in this app to their My workspace, then create their own reports based on the dataset.

Thank you for the suggestion to implement Apps as an additional layer but this still does not solve my security concern. I am able to share through an App but the Export Data Option for a visual still requires the BUILD permissions assigned to the user on the datset to work. If I have this permission granted and the tenant setting "Use datasets across Workspaces" enabled then the user could simply start a new Power BI report in Power BI Desktop source this dataset and see the underlying data.
Why does the report allow us to specify the export of summery OR export of underlying data if this new "Use datasets across workspaces" feature is just going to circumvent that by allowing users to pull the datasets into Power BI desktop regardless.
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous
It seems you create an new App workspace.
What i refer to is classic App workspace.

However, if I were to create a classic workspace this would be mitigated by working as designed prior to this update?
Thanks!
