Sharepoint source permissions
When you create the report in Power BI Desktop your credentials will be used to fetch the data.
When you publish the report to the workspace you are asked to reauthenticate with the sharepoint. Again, you provide your credentials and the Power BI Service will use these to refresh the data.
So - whatever credentials you provide will define the scope of the data shown in the report, regardless if the report users have access to the original source or not.
