Hi Anonymous ,

 

I have exactly the same issue. Do you already have a better solution then giving read access to the underlaying dataset in the other workspace to individual users?

I have not found anything better yet. It appears this is the best imperfect solution until Microsoft smoothens this out a bit.

    Just curious not sure if anyone has tried this yet but if "Build Access" was granted via the App to a user - This would mean the user can build out their own reports via this "shared dataset".

     

    So lets say user A has the dataset and shared it out with build access to user B. Lets say user B then shares it out to user C

     

    Does user A need to grant "read permissions" to user C in order to see the underlying dataset?

     

    Or does user B grant access to user C - Therefore user A has no clue beyond user B where the dataset is being spread out to?
