    Sounds like you have the right idea.  Set the permissions of the App Workspace to be the people that you want to be contributors. 

     

    When you publish the App, there is a different Access area where you can set up the People or Distribution groups that you want to give access too.  Those people will only be able to see a Read-Only version of the data from inside the "App" section of Power BI.

     

    You also have the ability to toggle which reports and dashboards appear in an App from that workspace.  Each workspace can only have a single App, so if you need to split the userbase, you will need to split the workspace.
