Permissions keeps removing groups
It looks like what was happening was rather simple, but it was non-obvious.
The group I was trying to share with has Access to the entire workspace as the relatively new "Viewer" role where the application is published. Because of this, you can't add the group directly to the application--it will automatically remove that group (without saying anything) because they already have access through the workspace (seems obvious, but was unclear in application).
Thank you for the help,
John
Hi jdsg ,
Currently, there are some differences between the classic workspace and new workspace. For example the following UI page:
You can learn more about the differences between the classic workspace and new workspace: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-new-workspaces#how-the-new-workspaces-are-different.
Please check if the users and groups have access to this workspace.
Best Regards,

Thanks for coming back and posting an update! We were having the exact same issue however we were embedding the app in sharepoint and the group users were unable to see the report in sharepoint until we removed viewer from the workspace and added them on the app instead.
