Maintain Same Report Across Multiple Workspaces / Apps (What's the best way?)

Is there a concept of a "linked" report (from SSRS days) in Power BI?

 

I want to deploy a report (PBIX or RDL) one time, in one production environment, and have it be visible in different apps that support completely different sets of users.

In other words, I want to reduce maintenance and room for error by not having to deploy a report to multiple workspaces whenever there is an update.

 

What is the best strategy to maintain the exact same report in different workspaces? I was thinking something with Deployment Pipelines, but they cannot have branches as far as I can tell.

    Hi AnonymousPerson ,

     

    I am wondering if you should use a DataFlow to do all of the work.  And then, you can have reports in different places that use the dataflow as the heavy lift/area of work.  And, you can use the specific  security/settings in each separate report in each workspace to keep it looking different to different sets of users.
