2 years agoLong story short, in a professional way :
- Create 3 Workspaces; WSName_Dev&Test , WSName_Dataset_Prod , WSName_Report_Prod
- Publish your dev/test pbix and its report to WSName_Dev&Test
- Once all good and ready for Production, publish the Pbix to WSName_Dataset_Prod and from the report download
- Open the copy(Thin report) in your desktop and republish it to WSName_Report_Prod
- (Optional) Go back to WSName_Dataset_Prod and delete the report(Keep the Pbix)
- From WSName_Report_Prod create the App and add your Users or Security to group to audience then publish the App
- Go back to WSName_Dataset_Prod and Manage permissions of the semantic
to add users or security group as viewers. Do Not Add users to Workspaces.
- Inform or share the App with users.
Hope all is clear.
