Request Access Unnecessary

When users have direct access to a report, but they click on the link that contains "/groups/me/reports/", it still initiates a request for access. This seems like a bug. If a user already has access...

Hi ybarsabal ,

According test ,if the report shared in  myworkspace,the url will be:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/reportid/ReportSection?language=en-US 

And if the report shared  not in  myworkspace,the url will be:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/workspaceid/reports/a06d549f-7488-4567-bd7a-58702df4d2cd/ReportSection?language=en-US

Also, in my test, when there is permission to access the report, there is no difference between accessing through the link and clicking share wish me, both return directly to the report page.

 

Wish it is helpful for you!

 

Best Regards

Lucien

    Thanks for the reply, but the behavior I described still persists in my organization.

        0 --> I manage permissions of a report and give Direct access to all users in my org.

        1 --> User 1 successfully accesses the report through "Shared with me" and copies the url, which contains "groups/me". User 1 sends url to User 2. User 2 clicks on the link but is not able to access the report and has to request access.

        2 --> Request notification is sent to me.

         

        Note, this is not an issue if the report is accessed using a link that has "groups/workspaceid".
