PowerBI App with different restriction for reports
- 6 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
In a single power bi app, it is for anyone who has access to it. In other words, if someone who has access to visit this app, he can see all the reports except those that were hidden when the app was published in navigation page.
So if you want to restrict some users to see part of reports while others can see all reports in the same app, I'm afraid it is not supported in power bi service currently.
What we can achieve is to restrict users to see the data in the report by using row-level-security. Please refer this document: Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI

Anonymous I know this is a closed question, but what did you end up doing? Did you create a separate Workspace or did you implement RLS on each report?
I'm having the same exact issue right now. My problem would be solved if Power BI would allow for rights at the report level to be set within an App. I don't want to create a separate App or deal with RLS.
Let me know what you ended up doing.
Hi there!
So essentially what I did for this was, I created two separate reports. (A & B). Report A was my main one and also acted as my landing page. I essentially put a note and hyperlink to Report B from Report A. Report B lived in its own workspace with its own set of access rules. It was not the perfect solution but it did the job!

OK, thanks. I was hoping not to have to create a separate Workspace to handle this. I think I will submit this as a feature request.

You can create two buttons for each report bookmakrs. if user have only permission to Report A, hide both Tabs (make them transparent using DAX) and default to report A bookmark. If user have access to both reports, show both buttons to switch between reports.
