Many datasets, many reports - few users per dataset/report


I would like to distribute many reports, all based on their own separate datasets - and they all have a small number of specific users or groups.

 

The ideal would be the ability to create many different apps from a single workspace - but since that request ( Multiple apps from same workspace ) is not in the near future, what could be a solution?

Hi @GuyInATesseract,

When you publish apps, you can grant access to specific users or groups rather than the whole organization. All these apps can be pubslihed inside a single app workspace.

 

But the requirement that create different apps based on the same dataset but avoid the duplicate of dataset is not supported now.

Duplication of datasets is not a problem - problem is that I can only create one app per workspace, as far as I can see. Can you confirm this?

Hi @GuyInATesseract,

 

It is allowed to publish multiple apps inside the same App WorkSpace. In your scenario, did you get any error prompt when you attempted to publish a second App?

@v-yulgu-msft Could you elaborate on your previous comment?

Hi @GuyInATesseract,

 

Based on my test, a member inside App Workspace is allowed to publish only one App. Publishing multiple apps for a use looks not supported now.

Well, I just can't seem to find the option to add more apps. I can edit the existing, unpublish. How would I go around adding more apps to the same workspace?

Very interesting thread. I checked this, did not find option to create a second app from the same app workspace. May be experts can help.

Hi Greg, 

 

 

 

That is not an option - that would mean a couple of thousand of workspaces a year which I do not find feasible. So sorry for not being explicit - but the goal is avoid a load of workspaces.

OK, so what if you have all the reports in a single workspace but just share each report individually?

But if datasets and reports exist in a single workspace - wouldn't that mean that all users could access all datasets and reports? That is not an option.
