Power Bi App

I have a few dashboards on my workspace and I'm using the powerbi app to combine a few of them together. For one in particular, I keep getting this message when I got to update app:

 

Cannot update the App because multiple explorations link to the same report. Remove corrupt report(s) from the workspace and then try updating again

Hi @cgaines 

 

Thanks to Ibendlin for responding to this thread.

 

I'm afraid this is not possible, when you add employee 1 to the workspace then he is at least in the "Viewer" role, which means he can view all items in the workspace. To accomplish this, consider using RLS to restrict Employee 1's full access to the Employee 3 dashboard. Note that RLS only restricts data access for users with "Viewer" role. It doesn't apply to "Admins", "Members", or "Contributors".

Please refer to the following links:

Ok. That worked. And the last question is, I am adding at least 5 employees to this workspace. Is there anyway to have restrictions? Meaning I dont want employee 1 seeing employee 3s dashboard?
