Live Connection to a shared semantic model with subsequent publishing to the Power BI Service

[AndyHermle]

Dear Experts: 

I am currently learning the wonderful world of Power BI. 

I am having a basic question: 

Say I have Build Permission on a semantic model and connect to this shared model from the Power BI Desktop through a live connection.
I do not have access to any workspace in the Power BI Service.
Does this mean I will not be able to publish the Power BI report (that I will build from the shared semantic model) to the Power Bi Service? Am I getting this right?
Expert Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Best Regards Andreas

Correct, you would not be able to publish to the service if you do not have at least contributor access to a workspace.  If you have a personal workspace you can publish to that.
