Report level security under one Workspace

Hello,

We have one Premium Workspace alloted for our reports to be published and viewed. As the scope of our project increases, we need to add multiple reports under same workspace. 

My question is: I want to limit group of users to access all the reports. Lets say, there are 3 reports named A, B and C report and three users X, Y and Z. X should have access to only A report, Y should have access to B and C reports, so on. 

Is it possible to achieve this under one Workspace? 

  • Do not give your report consumers workspace access, instead share specific reports from that workspace with them

     

    If you have  a large number of consumers for say, report A, then create a security group, add the users to the security group, then share the report with the security group

     

    Thanks,

    PoojaG  currently i do not think Power Bi has that option to restrict reports with respect to RLS applied.

     

    However you can  make use of RLS and set roles so that user get to see only the respective data and all other data will be blank.

      Anonymous  thanks for your response. We are not going to create an App using the reports under Workspace. In that case, wouldn't the solution provided by blopez11 work?

        PoojaG  Yes it does work ..... However, make sure that all the users need to have pro license..If Power bi content is pro then user who consumes the data should also have pro license.

        If this helped you please mark this as accepted solution

      blopez11  What if we are Updating Apps?

        As I believe, currently, there can only be one app per workspace, and if you want to keep using apps, then you may have to pursue a solution as Anonymous  mentions, using RLS to blank out data in reports that a user should not see

         

        I think in this scenario, where we are limited to one app per workspace, and I can't hide specific reports in an app using some kind of security, I would refert back to granting access on a report by report basis

      blopez11 that's great to know. No, as of now, we don't intend to create an App. Just reports.
