ShareDatasets between different workspace
Hi,
It's is possible share datasets between different workspace?
In my organization we need to share the same datasets with different groups of developers.
Create and share a content pack it’s not a solution: the users can may a copy of content pack and then do their reports however the information presents in datasets will not update (there is a dataset with gateway connection and update daily and we pretend share this datasets)
Create a app workspace it’s a possible solution found however we can’t control who create or modify the existing reports.
For example, we have sales department, logistics department and production department, the reports create by developers of sales department could be seen by logistics department or production department, but these departments could not modify the report.
On the other hand, developer of logistics department would create their own reports about the same datasets.
How I can do this?
Helenaoliveira Yes you would need to replicate the dataset in each workspace. The only way you can centralize a dataset would be to use Analysis Services. You would still need to deploy to each workspace, but any changes could be managed via the central model and deployment to the model would automatically make it's way downstream to all the datasets.

Helenaoliveira You would have to deploy the dataset to each workspace as you suggest.
In the workspace, you can have different types of members. Those that can only "read" and those that can edit. So if you need to have cross-department access but different levels of permissions you can set that on each App workspace. Based on your description, this should work.
Anonymous thanks for your response but if I create different workspace I will have the same datasets repeated in different workspaces. It makes sense has the same repeated in different workspace?
In my case, the datasets is the sales map with daily update, if I create different workspaces, I will have the datasets salesmap repeated with the respective update.

Hello,
I will upload a dataset with a lot of data and I don't want users to copy it in there own dataset.
I figure out than when a dataset is copy in the My workspace, i can't have any metrics on it. Also I want to know each users of my dataset.
Do I have any option for that ?
Thanks in advance.
