Hi sunshine_1234 ,
Thanks for the question,In addition to verifying Download Reports is enabled under Export and sharing settings in the Tenant settings.
Make sure that Use semantic models across workspaces is enabled for the entire organization under Workspace settings in the Admin portal.Also there are certain limitations when downloading reports or datasets from Power BI Service:
- Downloading a .pbix file is not supported as part of the deployment pipeline (ALM).
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/deployment-pipelines/understand-the-deployment-process?tabs=new#considerations-and-limitations - You can't download a copy of a report if the copy is saved in a workspace other than where the original report is saved.
- Reports created using the Create button in Power BI Service, based on a semantic model in another workspace, cannot be downloaded.
- Reports connected to Direct Lake semantic models are not eligible for download.
Here is the Microsoft link for detailed limitations for exporting data from Power Bi service.
