Setting up a shareable cloud connection to a semantic model
Shared source will let developers to build new semantic models, publish and keep a single standard configuration for the refreshes. That only works for refresh data and nothing else. Then you still need to make sure the user that has access to a report also can read the semantic model. I don't think you can get rid of that. Maybe there is a trick for import but for direct query sounds almost impossible.
If you would really really want to separate that. Forget for ever of the semantic model permission for users. I guess the best alternative is embedding in ISV. Embedded software will configure all that for a single service principal and become owners of the distribution and login. They keep who can se what report (assign people manually to report) and forget about models. An example would be https://www.pibi.cloud
I hope that make sense
