    Hi Shalin,

     

    Since you have a large number of reports, I would suggest you create several App workspaces. Please also create an idea here.

    Thanks Dale. Follow up question if that's ok:

    I've created an App Workspace. Within that workspace there are multiple reports and multiple dashboards.

     

    Is it possible to share the entire workspace to Read Only Users? Or is the App workspace for the people who are creating and editing reports, and the dashboards/reports are then shared with the read only users?

      Hi Shalin,

       

      The App workspace has read-only members and also the upcoming new feature of the new App workspace will have too. The only problem is the read-only member can see all the contents. 

      It won't be a problem to publishing the App. The end users only have read permission and you can hide some contents before publishing. Please refer to service-create-distribute-apps.

      >>>They can’t modify the contents of the app, but they can interact with it either in the Power BI service, or one of the mobile apps -– filtering, highlighting, and sorting the data themselves.

       

      Best Regards,
      Dale
