Hi BharathS1307 ,

As per Microsoft documentation, to use a Power BI dataflow in Power BI Desktop, the user must have permission to access that dataflow in the workspace. If the dataflow is connected to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, then the user may also need access to the underlying storage , depending on how the dataflow is set up.

Microsoft also mentions that Power BI Desktop can connect to dataflows using the available Dataflows connectors, and recommends using the newer Power Platform Dataflows connector for current scenarios.

Relevant Microsoft documentation:
