Permission Required - Shared Datasets
You can leverage the Build Permission to grant the necessary access, which grants users access to the dataset but not to the report contents. This is much more manageable leveraging AD Security Groups.
Setup:
1. Workspace A contains Dataset 1. Access to Workspace A is managed via AD Security Group called AD_WSA.
2. User builds Report X from Dataset 1 and publishes to Workspace B. Access to Workspace B is managed via AD Security Group called AD_WSB
In the above configuration, grant build permission to AD_WSB to Dataset 1 located within Workspace A. This way users of Report X can see the data in Dataset 1 but not have direct access to Workspace A.

Thanks, we've been meaning to move to AD groups for a while, think it's time!
