Workspace for All Users
I'd like to create a workspace that will be accessible to all Power BI Pro users. Does that mean I have to manually add them to a specific group every time I add a new user? Or is there a concept of an 'All Users' group?
If Power BI supported groups that are synchronised with on-premises AD things would be much easier from a management point of view. grrrrr....

You can add your Pro users into a O365 Group, then add this O365 Group as member of the Group workspace. See a similar thread below:

Currently it's not possbile the sync on-premise AD in Power BI, you can only add Email address from Outlook.

Thanks Simon. I understand how to use groups. The issue, as you you pointed out, is that only email addresses can be added to office 365 unified groups, there is no possibility to nest groups within groups. This creates an management overhead because a hierarchical strucutre can't be created. Is the use of AD sync'd groups on the roadmap?
Cheeers,

Before answering about our roadmap, I would like to understand the specific scenario here..
You say that you would like to give access to all Power BI users....
Do you want all of those users to be able to edit the content? Or do you want them to have read only access to your content?
