Premium Workspace Access

I have a question with regards to controlling access to a Power BI Premium workspace:
 
Currently I have an Azure AD group with several members in the group that has "view" access to the workspace. 
 
The problem I am having is that users who are not included in this Azure AD group can access the reports within the workspace.
 
I am not sure if this is due to the workspace being premium.
 
I need to control access to this workspace so only specific people cane view the reports.
 
Please can someone advise.
 
Thanks

Hi , @Anonymous 

Regarding your specific question, if you only add some users to the view permissions of this workspace through Azure AD groups, but do not add any other members, but users who are not included in this Azure AD group can access the reports in the workspace, my judgment on this situation is that these users have been added to the access rights of this report at other levels (such as report level, app level, dataset level, or share directly through link), If it is convenient for you, you can directly open the "Manage permission" option of this report to view the permission management of this report, check what the user is granted, and then delete them:
