    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  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

hi PoojaG - if you have a premium workspace and want to share different reports to different users then best approach would be to grant report level access as required (even for non pro users) - also as mentioned by blopez11 you should create Security groups for access control if you have a large number of users

 

Also I am assuming the 3 reports are showing different metrics/KPIs and not different only from the prospective of data - if it is only different based on data that users need to see then you should explore the option of RLS - Deploy just 1 report with RLS setup
Please refer to the the steps in the Microsoft documentation to create and assign members to specific roles for RLS
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-rls


Also RLS is only applied to users with "Viewer" access to reports; RLS will not apply to users with other levels of access.
