Hi Anonymous ,

 

There are a couple potential spots for this - when you go across workspaces and you want to maximize the permissions of the users you need to give the user in the workspace where the data resides AND in the workspace where the report resides.

I am curious as to why you are separating the workspaces if you are giving the users full control anyway?

Hi,

We're separating it since we don't want them seeing the report workspace, just the application. But, maybe it's better to create the reports and datasets in the same workspace and give build permission on the datasets?

We're trying to separate things and now I'm thinking this way might not be the most sufficient way.

 

Kind regards,

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    If you have the APP permissions set where the user can NOT connect to the App, make copy or share to others, then they do not see the workspaces or the reports in the workspace.  It depends on whether or not you want the user to only get the established version of the report/dashboard in the app or if you want them to drill down.  Giving them the App does not mean you have to give them the workspace.
