Yes, in most practical scenarios, especially when using Power BI Desktop, a user will likely need both Build permissions on the semantic model and Viewer permissions on the workspace to effectively create reports.- Build permission only (No Viewer access) → The user might not see the model in Power BI Desktop.

- Want access to the model without exposing the workspace? → Consider using Shared Dataset Access from another workspace.
