Advocate IIIUnable to update app until users are removed: 'groups have failed validation'
I have raised this in the ideas forum, and after a suggestion there, as a support ticket. The outcome after speaking to support is basically "tough luck, that's how it works". An idea has been opened to broadly change how access is removed from larger numbers of users, but it is rather general.
So although the Power BI access system is built around individuals requesting access and being granted on a per-person basis, the best solution is to reject all individual requests and only use groups set up using another part of Office 365. 😞
If anyone else is having this issue, the only solution I can recommend is using groups and otherwise putting up with the inconvenience.
Super UserI have encountered this situation. One work around is to create Security Groups for all the users, and use it in the app to assign access. This way, if a user leaves, it will dissapear from the security groups automatically, and you wont need to remove the user manually
