Issue with Viewing Report Data from Semantic Model in Another Workspace
Hi all,
I’m encountering an issue where users are unable to view data in a Power BI report that uses a semantic model from a different workspace.
- The users are part of a user group which has the "Workspace viewer" right assigned on the semantic model
- The report is shared via an app, and they have access to the app
However, they still see blank visuals or errors when opening the report.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Mihnea202,
For cross workspace or composite models, granting viewer on the workspace or the ap audience doesn't grant permissions to objects in other workspaces. For cross workspace models to work like this, you need to manually grant permissions to all semantic models referenced.
Unfortunate, but alas it is the way it is right now.
