Power BI App Permissions for groups - Dynamic list not working properly and not showing all items
Since late last week I have been in communication with the MS Support Engineer and others on my team and have some additional updates.
In our testing we initially thought that there was a caching issue with my browser. However, after clearing every history setting in my browser and in testing with newly downloaded browsers and with browsers on our servers we experienced that the problem still persisted, (and other users at my Company experience the same behavior). We also tried deleting those groups and recreating them, but that did not fix the issue either.
What we did find is that this problem is specifically related to the use the non-email-enabled Security Groups. The dynamic list just doesn't seem to consistently be able to pull in all items in that list.
We were however able to test and verify that if we created Email-Enabled Security Groups that we were able to assign them. I found that there were still times that the dynamic list did NOT show those groups if I tried to type in the Name of the group (Power BI – Refugee Services) but if I typed the email address associated with that group powerbi-refugessservices@b..... That the group would get pulled up in the list and I could apply it to the App permissions.
There was a couple of times that I also needed to go into a report dataset and apply individual permissions to a report dataset and the dynamic list there exhibited the same behavior.
In summary, there still appears to be a bug in the dynamic list, but for all intensive purposes I've requested that our ticket be closed out as we are able to continue moving forward with the workaround that we have discovered.
Just wanted to get this update attached to this thread for reference.
Thank you again to everyone who has assisted with this ticket.

Based on this document, You can have at most 100 users or groups in the access list for the app.
We test with the office 365 group and it works fine. Although we enter the first part the list does not show all the group, but after enter more part, it shows the group we want. Finally we add up to 23 groups to the app permissions list.
Could you please clarify What kind of group you have problems with, the office 365 group , security group, or the contact list?
Best regards,Thank you for looking into this and for offering that additional information.
I'm having my collegue in Infrastructure in the IT Dept get more information on the groups that he configured. He's out of the office until next week, but as soon as I connect with him I'll update the notes here.
I did want to post a coupld of screenshots of what I'm seeing just to offer some more details.
In the screenshot below I'm showing the "Power BI -" list. It stops at that point and doesn't show the next one, which should be "Power BI - Pregnancy Counseling"
List of Power BI groups are limited and won't show the remaining ones in the list. The next one should be "Power BI - Pregnancy Counseling"
When I search just for "Pregnancy Counseling" I also don't see the Power BI group.
When I search for other terms like "Kent" I see users with the first name Kent, last name Kent and results like Kent, Washington.
I did have the Infrastructure team verify that those groups do all exist and that there is not difference between any of those groups.
I'm only trying to assign 1 per App currently, so I'm not running into a limit there. Also, there aren't users assigned to those groups quite yet, so I'm not hitting limits there.
I'll update again when my collegue returns next week, but wanted to provide this information for your review during that delay.
Thanks again for your assistance with this.
