Share Dataset (or Report) from API to users

[dkakhanouski]

Hi!

I develop dataset stored in SSAS tabular with live connection to it (through On-prem Gateway)
I want to give users possibility to create their own reports based on this dataset.
For now I investing possibilities how to do that. That's what i already tried:

1. Workspaces.
I created workspace and added some template report with my dataset. It works fine for all users in workspace! But users can be added dynamically to SSAS model and according to requirements I should add this users to workspace. The problem is I can't do it in programmatically way (by any API call or something like that).
I tried workaround to add domain group to this workspace and then add users to it programmatically. But in this case those users should ask permission to view report that is unacceptable.

2. Apps.
I encapsulated some template report with my dataset to app. I published this app to organizational (domain) level. In this case users can see report from this app. But they cannot create other reports based on my dataset.

3. Programmatically share report to users by email.
But no any API for it.

Any ideas?

Thank you

@dkakhanouski ,

You can assign those users as members and select "Members can edit Power Bi Content" in app workspace settings.

@v-yuta-msft, thank you for answer.

I know about this way. On this way I can do it manually. But users can be added to SSAS dynamically (automatically, not from my side) on synchronization. I looking for some API or PowerShell script that I can add to process of synchronization and do the same thing programmatically. Is it possible somehow?

@dkakhanouski ,

You can use Group rest api like 

POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/users

For more details, please refer to power bi rest api reference:
