Grant users access to App without access to underlying Azure SSAS cube?
We have various Reports published via Apps all linked by live connection to an Azure SSAS cube. Is it possible to grant users access to the App without having to also grant them individual access...

Super UserHi there
Yes that is correct, as long as you have got your Dynamic RLS defined with the UPN the mapping would work seamlessly.
That would be my recommended approach

Well it would work, but as I said, we are using Azure based Analaysis Services, hence no gateway, and therefore no UPN mapping.

If you are using RLS you would always need to store the UPN so that it will then be transferred to AAS so they could be authenticated and then have the RLS applied.
I think you have confirmed what I thought, that users accessing a Power BI report/app connected live to an Azure tabular model where no gateway is involved (everything is happening in Azure), have to be granted access to the tabular model as well as the app.
