In this scenario, you can publish your dataset into a Group. Then you can add other users as members within this Group. However, it requries all users' Power BI account within same organization. If your end users are in different organization, you may publish your report onto Power BI Service by some developers, then create dashboard and share to those end users: 

 

Share your Power BI dashboards with coworkers and others

    Thanks a lot, the sharing feature is great. However, my biggest issue is that the end users cannot refresh the data themselves, since they only use the Power BI Online Servcies which doenst allow refresh on API sources like ours. 

     

    How would a solution look like that allows Mac users to refresh such data in the online sevice? 

     

    Thanks gain,
