Shared Datasets and underlying permissions

Hey gang - I have a question around using shared datasets and the proper way to grant permission to the underlying dataset. If a report in a separate workspace is using a shared dataset, what is the ...

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?

    Huh, me too. 

     

    Trying to share with external users. 

    Workspace 1 has the Dataset

    Workspace 2 has a trimmed down copy of the report

    Workspace 2 has an app, a group (of which these external users are a part), was given app access

    Yet it keeps compalining about them not having access to the underlying dataset
