Is there a way to hide datasets/semantic models in the power BI workspace? So that only reports/dashboards are visible?
Thanks!
Hi @asodie ,
You might consider creating a Power BI app to distribute reports and dashboards to your users. Here is additional information: https://www.coatesdatastrategies.com/blog/why-use-a-power-bi-app
If someone only has Viewer permissions in a workspace they will see only reports and dashboards but no datasets.
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.
