Helper VPrevent Others from Publishing into Workspace I Admin
Hello.
I am admin to various Workspaces where I publish PBIX reports and share with execs. In a few of these Workspaces, person A has Contributor access since I want person A to be able to bypass RLS.
However, person A recently started dabbling with Power Bi and attempted to publish. However, when he publishes, he could publish into the same Workspaces I use to share reports with Execs.
Is there a way to prevent Person A from even seeing my Workspaces when he tries to publish without removing his access to these Workspaces?
I don't recall whether Person A could see my Workspaces after I downgraded him to Viewer, off memory I think he could. Nevertheless, I'd prefer to keep him as Contributor instead of adding him to "All Access" to every report.
Thanks.
Unfortunatly not, Contributor role grants them permission to publish to the workspace. The only other thing you can do is add a role to your model, maybe called AllAccess, with no expression. Remove user A from workspace assess, grant them read access on the report and add them to the AllAccess role. I know this is a bit of a pain, but all I can think of at the moment. Maybe others can chime in.

etaneYup you're right can't find a way around changing access level and using allaccess.
