Problem with adding different Audiences to a Power BI App
Correct setup
In the App settings, add all 25 user groups to the App (Viewer access).
In the Audiences, decide which reports belong to which audience.
Assign user groups to the appropriate audience.
Publish / Update the App (this step is mandatory — changes don’t apply until you do).
Keep Manage Access limited to authors/admins only.
Hi jonclay,
if you say the user can not see the app, are they acutually can not see it in the app section? Because this is not by default intended. The first time a user adds the app they need to select "Get apps".
And yes, if your users have workspace access rights higher than contributor then theses role will overrule the audience selection.
Maybe if you haven't, check out this documentation for further guidance: Publish an app in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Best regards!

Thank you - I think that I was adding the permissions in the wrong place, but can't confirm if it works until I speak to a user in the new year.
