Problem Sharing Dashboards-first time users do not have access

We've noticed an interesting development in the last month or so with the dashboard sharing mechanic.  It is not a show-stopper but it is extremely annoying and makes PowerBI seem clunky to managers ...

    Hi APACK01,

     

    Did you share the dashboard from the group workspace or My Workspace? I got information from PG if share dashboard from group:

     

    "This is by design for now, we will have a design change at the beginning of next year.

    Temporary Workarounds: Either share the dashboard from My Workplace, or log into the user before attempting to share the dashboard."

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

I can't say I'm happy with the design, but the workaround is suitable for the time being.  Thanks for the information!
