Is there a limit to the links one can create to a Power BI dashboard?

[Data4Me]

Greetings,

I have created three links to a power BI dashboard on the Power BI Service, as there was a 100 person limit for each link. However when I tried creating more links where I can edit the permissions, I can no longer to do this.

Is there a limit to the links I can created (fpr a Power BI dashboard) and edit the permissions for?

An App is not a power bi project, it is a container in a workspace that allows you to select the deployed reports to be selected for inculsion in an App. The App has a section for selecting the users who have access to the app. You can have mulitple Audiences that have a different list of users (EntraIDs or security groups) and the Audience can see one or more of the selected reports.

There is a new feature coming out allowing one workspace to have multiple apps.

Hi @Data4Me,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

We really apologies for the inconvenience, after reviewing the issue of Is there a limit to the links one can create to a Power BI dashboard, here are few steps to may resolve the issue.

• Power BI allows sharing a dashboard with up to 100 people per link. If you need to share the dashboard with more than 100 people, you will need to create additional links.
• To address the 100 person limit per link, consider developing a workspace app. This app bypasses the 100 person restriction and enables sharing the dashboard with a larger audience.
• To manage user permissions, you can adjust their access through the Power BI service. This enables you to control who can view or edit the dashboard.

Please go through the below mentioned link for better understanding:

Also, I suggest the following steps to may resolve the issue:

• Develop an application for the workspace to enable sharing with over 100 users without link limitations.

• Adjust user permissions using the Power BI service as required.

Greetings,

It is odd, one link I have has 109 people attached to it, not sure why it was not restricted to 100 people.

However, I did create a PBI app, adding in the PBI report as content and this has resolved the issue.

Thank you all for you help...

Greetings,

I know that a link tyipcally has a 100 user limit, however it seems like there is a limit to the number of links I can create?

Create a App for the workspace which does not have the 100 person limit as a link

Greetings,

I dont understand how does an app not have a limit and isnt the app just the typical power bi new project?
