Linked Dataflow yielding permissions error
I have a workspace that is full of dataflows that I manage. When I would like certain users to access a dataflow I have created, I link the dataflow to their workspace. But currently my users are getting permissions issues when they try to open a template containing that data in PBI desktop.
Once I grant them access to my workspace containing all my dataflows, the issue goes away. I would like to avoid giving access to my workspace though. Also I thought linking a dataflow would give all the users in that workspace access to the data? They just need to be able to refresh the data - no editing involved.

Hi, Anonymous ,
Please check the below article and see if it solved your problem.
You could grant the user VIEWER access to the workspace. The user is able to connect to the dataflows in the workspace but not edit nor refresh them.
Hopefully works for you.
