Hiding Semantic Models (datasets) in a workspace

Is there a way to hide datasets/semantic models in the power BI workspace? So that only reports/dashboards are visible? Thanks!

Edit: Brunner_BI  confirmed the Viewer role hides them.

I keep my Datasets in different locked down Workspaces than my Reports for this reason.  Dataset Workspaces are Admin only, Report Workspaces are more open.

    Do you have a tutorial for how to move datasets to a different workspace?

      You can't move them, you just publish them again to a differen't Workspace and then re-point your reports towards it.  It's not that big of a deal if you have a reasonable # of reports to update, but if you have anyone using the Excel connection, it will break it.

      Once you publish your Dataset to a different workspace, open your reports in Desktop.  Click "Transform Data" > "Data Source Settings" and select the Dataset from it's new home.  Publish the report, repeat for each report.
