Helper VNew paginated report visual - PBI App issue for users
Hi @Bamak ,
As far as I know, it is by desgin in Power BI Service.
To access the paginated report visual report in the app, people need to have the access to the paginated report first as prerequisites.
Note:
We recommend saving the Power BI report with the paginated report visual to the same workspace as the paginated report. This ensures that readers with access to the Power BI report also have access to the paginated report, which is required for the paginated report visual to render.
So in this case, if you do not want app user have access to the whole workspace which include this paniated report, you can only give them the single access to it in the permission page.
Kudo CollectorI have the same problem:
- a premium workspace with Power BI and paginated reports, some of the Power Bi reports use the new paginated report visual. The visual references a paginated report from the same workspace
- an app is created based on the workspace. From the app, the paginated reports runs with no issues. The same report when access from the paginated report visual fails to render, when the user has no access to the workspace.
This is an issue. We do not want to give the business users any access to the workspace. Even if we give them the viewer role, how can I explain when the app is to be used and when - the workspace?
The visual is still in a preview state, I hope this to be fixed in the next releases.
Best regards

Advocate III have this issue; currently on Dec 2021 Power BI version.
My only practical workaround is to share the paginated report with an AD group all my users are in, then the embedded visual works. So every time we publish a paginated report that will be accessed via the embedded visual we have to share each and every report, even though everyone could run the report itself without it being shared no problem.
If this is by design, it's a rubbish design.
