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 ...

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?

    Hi Ajay,

     

    We'd like to have a group "Whole Company" which all users have read-only access to. Typically in a Windows environment we'd use a group like "Domain Users". This isn't possible within Power Bi workspace groups because nesting is not possible.  I hope that makes sense?

     

    Cheers,

    Rhys
