Sharing dataset between workspace (access rights)

I have two report : 

- report A is quality data analysis of all workshops and has its own dataset

- report B is quality data analysis of only the workshops of one country and use report A dataset

 

Report A is published in workspace A

Report B is published in workspace B

 

One of my user has access to workspace B but not A

When she tries to read Report B, she receive a message saying she can't because she does not have viewing right of the report's dataset

 

The easy solution would be to give my user access to workspace A. But I can't (she cannot be allowed to see data from other countries, only her own)

 

Is there any way around it ?

Yes, build permissions will permit that user to build a local PBIX solution using Report A's dataset, which in your case will give that user access to all the data.

Your scenario requires more considerations based upon your complexity.  I would explore implementing Row Level Security within Report A, where you grant permissions to users based on the countries they can see.

Ok, thanks for the explaination

 

I have a rough idea of what to do and will do some reading on https://docs.microsoft.com/ to understand how to do it

Thanks @tctrout for your feedback

 

Dataset from report A contains data from every countries

My user cannot be allowed (for legal reasons) to access data from countries other than her own, which is why I built a separate report in a separate workspace for her

If I grant her access to the dataset from report A, will she be able to access data from every counties ?

Yes, instead of granting access into the workspace grant build permission to the dataset.

 

In your example above, grant user build permission on Report A's dataset.
