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.

Hi v-lid-msft ,
That is a good thought, I should have mentioned that I did try that as well previously.
Here is a screenshot of that, showing that it doesn't appear in the dynamic list.
Here is also what it looks like if I try to specify the entire name.
Thank you again v-lid-msft and venal for your assistance with this.

Community SupportHi Anonymous ,
We test with the new condition, although the list cannot display completely on my side, but it show after we enter "Power BI - P",
Sorry for that, We cannot reproduce the issue here and also not found an effective solution. We suggest you to open a ticket here for help if you are a pro user: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/
Best regards,
Thank you so much for all of this additional testing that you've done in trying to get this fixed up for me. I grealy appreciate that.
I have a support ticket opened and will be working with the support engineer to see if we can figure out what's going on.
I'll update this thread here after connecting with them.
Thanks,
David
