How to give 'VIEW' only access to members with the New Workspaces (preview) in Power BI Service?

Hi,

 

The New Workspaces (preview) has only the Admins, Members and Contributors roles which does not provide an option for View Only. 

 

Is there an option to provide the 'Members can only view Power BI content' in the New Workspaces (preview) like the old App Workspace interface?? 

 

Any other alternatives, if this is not available in the New Workspaces (preview)??

 

Thanks!

Hi there

As per the preview documentation the Viewer Role will become available when it goes GA (Generally Available)

As an alternative for now, you could share the information via the App

Hi @BBIUser,

 

From this document

  • Read-only workspaces: Instead of granting users read-only access to a workspace, you'll assign users to a forthcoming Viewer role, which allows similar read-only access to the content in a workspace.

RLS is not working when we try to share the app using the New Workspace (preview) for the created group. Is there another way to solve this?
