Shared dataset between workspaces
Hi charlotte_13 - Not quite, but yes. You need to understand the difference between sharing App access versus Workspace access to answer your question properly. Yes, the user will need access to the "Dataset" in Workspace A to use the App based on the Report in Workspace B. When you share access via an app, the users will be provided access to the Datasets linked to the content, but this only happens automatically when if the Dataset is within the current Workspace (i.e. B not A). It important to understand that you are sharing Datasets access, but not Workspace access - these are different roles/personas.
Adam from Guy In a Cube created this video to explain this concept. Dataset permissions required for App report in Power BI? What am I missing??? (Re-Upload) - YouTube
I suggest using an AD Group to manage access to the App, and this AD Group can be included on the Dataset in Workspace A.
