Restricting Access to Azure Analysis Services for Power BI Users

 

We are facing the issue (screenshot below) where the user does not have access to Azure Analysis Services and gets an error of not having access to the data model. The person has access to Power BI Workspace as a Contributor. The connection between Azure Analysis Services and Power BI is Live Connection.

 

Considering the security protocols we follow, we do not want to give full access to Azure Analysis Services. This means the things below should not be accessible.

1. Person should not see any resouce when logged in to portal.azure.com

2. Person should not be able to see the link for Azure Analysis Service which is typically azure://wabi.c.........

 

How do we resolve this issue without compromising our protocols?

All help would be appreciated.

    The access has been granted at a model level and windows authentication has been enabled. Thus, does not see any AAS resource on https://portal.azure.com
    If they get the link for AAS by downloading the .pbix file, then they will only see data that they have access to using their credentials which will be read only access.
