Advocate IIHow do report users create personal Dashboards from reports in several work spaces?
Hi birdie29,
If I understood correctly, you created a report in one Power BI group workspace, and granted edit permission for a group member. And you wanted the group member to create their own dashboard in their My Workspace, and pinned tiles from the group report to their own dashboard, right?
In your scenario, you can create a content pack to package the report you created in the group workspace and publish it to this group. Then when group member sign in their Power BI Service, they can Get Data-> My Organization-> search the content pack name, get the report. Then they can pin tiles from this report to their dashboard.

Thanks again for your reply and for mentioning the idea, I have given it 3 votes :)
I've re-read the article you kindly shared; from our testing the user could not directly pin tiles from the reports they picked up from the content pack. It appears the user must save a copy of the reports and dashboards first, then pin tiles from their copies.
As soon as they make copies the users can then remove/add data fields in the report copies, which could lead to ambiguity between what finance share and the users share. Whilst this isn't likely, curious employees at least have the option.
What I also fail to understand is, say I set-up a 'Project workspace', why would I then set-up a content pack based on this workspace if I didn't want users to create copies of the report? The article mentions you can email the team but Workspaces work like that too. The users would effectively be looking at the same data as the 'Project Workspace'.
We may have to end up using this method until it's altered but it's far from ideal.
Thanks again for you help.
