I tested today and can confirm: Giving Build permission in the App does not give users the ability to run a paginated report (w/a dataset as the datasource).  They can only run it when View or higher access is also given in the Workspace.

Hi jcampbell474 ,

 

You should make sure the users have the access to the original dataset. Is that the w/a dataset on the power bi service? if yes, please assign read permissions to the users.

Please refer this official article

Manage dataset access permissions - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

     This is misleading if two user lists are required.
