Grant Build and Reshare Permission on a shared semantic model

Dear Experts: 

I would like to get something cleared up with Relation to the Build Permission for semantic models. 

 

Say, I have NO workspace role for any of the Power BI Service workspaces in my company. Now a user with a Workspace Role of MEMBER for a specific workspace gives me Build and Reshare Permission for a specific semantic data model. 

So, is the following statement correct?

If I have been granted Reshare and Build permission on a semantic model, and I later share a report or dashboard I built on that semantic model, can I specify that the recipients also get Reshare AND Build permission for the semantic model.

Is the latter true?

Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. 

Regards, Andreas

Hi @AndyHermle If you have Build and Reshare permissions, you can share the report/dashboard and specify Build permission for the semantic model to the recipients. However, granting Reshare permission requires that you already have Reshare rights for the model and explicitly pass it along when sharing.
