How do I know what the data from workspaces was shared with?

Yes, access control in Power BI is workspace centric. Various user roles have different additional rights, and you can also invite people outside of the workspace, but the workspace is the core "sharing unit":

- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-roles-new-workspaces
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-manage-access-permissions
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-share-dashboards
The tool to find out who has access to what is the Scanner API, here's a good entry about it:

Hi!
Do I understand correctly, that if the user has access to the dashboard in Workspace A, he will automatically have access to the whole Workspace A? It's impossible to give access to the dashboard without giving access to the whole Workspace A?
