Permission for a semantic model behind another semantic model

Hello everyone,

 

I have a report that's shared within my organization. The report is based on the semantic model R (see picture).

 

Yesterday I added two more semantic models (S and G). They are fairly large and don't need as many updates as R so I decided not to include them in R.

 

Here is the problem. All tables that contain information from tables from S and G cannot be viewed by organization members. Only by me. How do I extend their permission?

 

Greetings from Germany

then all your report users must be workspace members in those other workspaces.  You don't want to do that. Use apps.

As an alternative to @lbendlin , you can grant your users read permission on the semantic models S and G.

Users of your reports must "install"  the app for your workspace and all apps for the workspaces where the chained semantic models come from.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I'm not using an app. It's "only" a report. Except you mean something different by app? The App tab in Power BI is empty.
