Viewer role on workspace does not display content
"Viewer" role will not see datasets,only reports. Do these viewers have pro license? Afaik, users will need pro license to access a workspace unless the workspace is on premium capacity.
Thanks for the response. The workspace is on premium capacity. So you're saying there is no way to give some kind of support read-only license on datasets? We need them to be able to check without having the ability to change anything and Contributor would give them too many permissions?
When you give user "Viewer" role in a workspace, you automatically give the use "Read" permission to the dataset. But you cannot really "Read" a dataset, because the "Read" is done through viewing the report connected to the dataset.
What would you like your user to do? You can manage the dataset permission individually, these are the options :We are automatically generating client specific workspaces, reports and datasets. We need to give support users the ability to troubleshoot issues which includes
- confirming the dataset made its way to the workspace
- checking any refresh errors on the dataset
- checking the data source mapping - through lineage view
Not sure why there would be a need to hide a dataset from a viewer when there are useful read-only things to be done on a dataset. So we're stuck? WE have to give our support users Contributor role?
Yup, sounds like Contributor role is the minimum that is needed to perform those work.
Do you have any concerns regarding the Contributor role?
