Users now need workspace access to view certain visuals in Power BI app's now.

For a few weeks now, we have had a visual in a Power BI app, that seems to require somesort of workspace access in order for a user to view it. The app is open to the whole organization via a security group. The visual is a simple line chart. I have app access and workspace access so I can see the below chart.

However, if I view the same visual with an account without workspace access, I see this instead:

If I apply workspace view access to the account above that previously didn't have workspace access I can see the visual just fine:

If I remove the workspace view access, that account can't view the visual again:

Has there been a change to how Power BI security works or is this a bug?

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi @wkellner 

 

Could you confirm that the users have got the read permissions on the underlying dataset?

 

It does appear that could be the cause?

@GilbertQ Yes, on the dataset the all employee security group has the 'App' Permission.
