Share a dataset to all ?

Hi , I just wonder if there is a way you share a dataset with the whole organisation by default ? will the certified option help ? I am able to see some shared datasets of which the workspace I definitely do not belong to. I do not know how that was done and the trick behind.

    Hi YuanLei,

    by default there is no way to share a report to the whole company. You can build Groups in AzureAD and Invite the group to a report or Workspace. If you belong to this Group you can see the shared Report.

     

    I hope this answered your question.

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, it is unsupported to share a dataset with the whole organization by default. You may operate the following steps.

    1. You start by creating a .pbix file with a data model in Power BI Desktop. If you're planning to offer this dataset for others to build reports, you may not even design a report in the .pbix file.

    A best practice is to save the .pbix file to an exsiting Office 365 group.

    2.Publish the .pbix file to a new experience workspace in the Power BI service.

    3.You can also publish an app from this workspace. When you do, on the Permissions page, you specify who has permissions and what they can do.

     

    For further information, you may refer to the following links.

    Create a group in AD called 'Everyone', put everyone in it and then share the dataset to the group.

     

    Or

     

    Create a workspace and share that workspace to the group everyone and then anything you put inside it will become available to everyone.

     

    Do remember licensing requirements though! Also, this isnt very secure so consider what data you are giving everyone access to.

     

    Many Thanks
