Thanks for the reply.

 

Yes, they are members in the App workspace, with Edit privileges. However, when RLS is applied, they cannot edit the report at all, and therefore they cannot even pin tiles to the dashboard. I know this feature is still in preview, so maybe it's a bug?

 

Using the content pack approach, it applies RLS and at least it allows them to "make copies" of the dashboard and reports and then edit their local copies as they see fit. 

 

In this scenario, we prefer not to have the sales people download and use PBI Desktop.

Hi there

In the App Workspace settings are the members able to view or edit?

I inclined to think that the setting is set to Read Only for Members.

    Are you referring to this:

    I don't see any other setting related to edit/view.

      Hi there

       

      Yes I would imagine that the members would be able to edit the content, but as per your previous message it does not to do that.

      Hi Anonymous

       

      I just tried this on my tenant and it worked where a person was able to edit and create a dashboard and pin it from a report.

       

      I had the user as your settings below as well as being part of the app.

       

      The only thing i can think of is your user a Free or Pro user?

        All users are Pro users. In your scenario, are you also using RLS? I added the user to the security role on the dataset before I published the dataset in the app.
