Published report using external semantic model on premium workspace unable to be read by end user

Hi oldmanpadawan

Correct. End users of a report using an external semantic model need at least read permissions on the external semantic model themselves.

Not sure it is feasible for you... But if you are using Fabric, you may share Lakehouses from the provider tenant externally as well. This could allow you to build the Semantic Model in your own tenant in Import Mode instead, and you could in that case share it with your end users without permission to the original data.. But this is likely swaying a little far from your optimal scenario.
