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.

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.
Hi eslna,
I think you are running into trial limitations, but have you tried granting the users viewer on the semantic model workspace?

I did try that. They can see the workspace but not the semantic model.
Hi eslna,
Are you able to post some screenshots of what you're seeing? If a user has the viewer role, they should be able to see everything.

Sure!
These are the workspace roles I assigned to the two users.These are the explicit permissions I assigned to those users at the semantic model level.
This is what they see when they browse the OneLake catalog. They are also unable to see the model from Excel, or if they navigate to that workspace.
This is a very simple model with no RLS or any additional security other than what I am trying to do here.
