PowerBi Dataset not showing in PowerBi Desktop
Hi Gilbert
Are you sure? I wonder because I keep doing some test, and I've added a free user with the "Member" role in a Premium Workspace, and this user can actually access to the Shared Dataset from PowerBi Desktop! (And the user don't even have the Trial Pro license).
In this link, from the microsoft documentation, they say:
"If you're a free user, you only see datasets in your My Workspace, or datasets for which you have Build permission that are in Premium-capacity workspaces."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-datasets-discover-across-workspaces
Also, in this microsoft post, they say that with Viewer Role and Build permission, an user can use Analyze in Excel or export underlying data from the datasets in the workspace.

So i'm confused about how does this shared datasets works..
Facing the same issue. Was anyone able to resolve it?
