Hi b-kopik 

 

It looks like you’re getting this error because “Open data model” only works when you have Build permission on the dataset in the workspace where it’s published.

If the dataset is part of an app, you can view reports but won’t be able to open or edit the model unless:

  1. You have direct access to the workspace with Contributor or Member role.

  2. Or, the dataset owner grants you Build permission on that dataset.

Ask your admin or the dataset owner to either:

     1. Add you as a Contributor/Member in the workspace.

     2. Or share the dataset with you and enable Build.

Once you have that access, “Open data model” should work without errors.
