    Hi. Sadly I don't think there is a solution like you want for this. It's an interesting approach that you might want to suggest in https://ideas.powerbi.com

    Dashboards are created in a workspace from the same workspace. So unless the user belongs to the workspace they won't be able to create dashboards. 

    You might need to move those reports to a different workspace to avoid them checking all of the reports because that's the only way to create dashboards today. You need to be part of the same workspace and create dashboards on that workspace.

    I hope that make sense.

    Regards,

    Hi sgeheeb 

    If you have given them the permission to read and create content for your shared report , they can create a new report based on the dataset of the report .

    Because for shared reports, as long as you give build permissions, it means that the shared person can directly create reports and dashboards in his workspace through the dataset corresponding to this report .

    But they cannot operate directly on the report you share, unless they are also in your workspace .

     

    Best Regards
