    Hi. It's true that users reading a report with live connection or direct query to other dataset can't see the visuals unless they have permissions to the source dataset. However, the build it's not necessary. You can just add them to the dataset unchecking all the boxes like "build", "reshare", etc. Just read. That should be enough for the users for reading the new reports created by the developers.

    I hope that helps,

    If you build a report on top of a dataset in another workspace, whoever should view that report needs to have access to that dataset either via "viewer" in the workspace or via direct access to the dataset itself.
    Build goes on top of the direct access and is not required.
