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

Can anyone provide an update on when this will be fixed. The workaround of sharing from My Workspace does not work for me so I actually have no workaround available at all.

Same here. Trying to see the silver lining - for our small scale projects, I usually schedule time to walk folks through first-time login, which actually helps start off the relationship. They feel more comfortable reaching out for help, which has helped us increase adoption. Still pretty painful though!
