Hi tusmo,

 

Based on my test, on the Users tab, for the data source, you can add, and remove, users, or security groups, that can use this data source. Then the user could refresh the dataset by himself  without any issue. For more details, please check the online document.

What if your data sources are linked to SharePoint site?  Multiple users have access to the files including the PowerBI report. However, when we need to refresh it, it is still linked to the user that uploaded the file from sharepoint into Powerbi.  Only the user that uploads the data files can refresh the PowerBi report.  If the data files are saved and uploaded from a common location, we want anyone with access to those files to be able to refresh the report.  Is that possible?

    Hi,

    I am having the same issue. I am linked to a SharePoint site and we need to give multiple users the ability to refresh the Power BI dashboard.
    Did you find a solution to this?

    Thanks,
