Restricting report access within a published App
hi ashishrj
If reports are in the workspace which is premium capacity, end user could be free license.

and for your case, I think you could also try to use Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI

Anonymous Thanks for your quick revert. So, if I share reports directly from the workspace (premium capacity), do the end user with whom I share requires a Pro license ?
ashishrj No, as v-lili6-msft defined there is no need for the end users to have a Pro license. A Premium capacity will allow you to share in any way available. Be that Dashboard, Reports, or Apps it all works the same in terms of covering the license.
RLS will not work in this case, because you don't want them to see the report at all. RLS would only make sense in the context of filtering down the information to the appropriate role within the report.
Anonymous v-lili6-msft Thank you for all the answers. I will test for various scenarios of sharing a report and also will check how RLS will work for my data model.
Hi ashishrj, did it work out for you in the end? I'm facing the same issue. I've created an app and it automatically contained all the reports/dashboards available on my company workspace. However, I'd need to differentiate user access to the various reports within the app.
Thank you

Hi there, did you get any joy in this regard? I am also facing the same problem...
