Issue with read/build permissions on Semantic Models
Hi eslna,
That's not expected, I've never seen this behaviour before.
I recommend opening a ticket to Microsoft. Something here is broken in your environment.
If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.
Posting an update in case someone stumbles upon this thread with the same issue I was having:
The reason my users cannot access our models from Excel and Power BI in this scenario is because our Fabric Admins disabled "Sharing datasets across workspaces".
This setting has to be turned on, either for the whole organization, or for a security group comprised of my model users, in order for them to be able to see and connect to models. It had nothing to do with the type of Fabric license.
Changed the workspace back to Pro and I am still seeing the same issue.
I tried a different workspace with a different semantic model just to make sure something wasn't corrupted in Workspace A, and I still see the same behavior.
The two accounts still do not see the semantic model unless I grant them Contributor access.
Any other suggestions?
Hi eslna ,
Ideally what you have done should work in pro/premium capacity workspace.
user1 and User2 should have read and build on semantic model.once this is done,then they should be able to see the model.if they are not able to see the model in desktop.can you try below step:
1. ask user1/2 to go to app.powerbi.com
2. go to onelake catalog and search the model
3. if they can see the model there then they have access
if they are still not able to see check the license type of the user(free/pro/premium) and workspace capacity(shared/premium).
if all above apaproches doesnt work, then try clearing the cache and try again.
Please give kudos or mark it as solution once confirmed.
Thanks and Regards,
Praful
Thanks, this is happening in Pro and Fabric Trial workspaces. I tried connecting to the semantic model from Power BI Desktop and from app.powerbi.com but the accounts have no visibility into the model.
