    Thanks, Anonymous lbendlin ,

    I raised a ticket with MS and I think it's due to the tennant level setting 'Allow shareable links to grant access to everyone in your organisation' being enabled. I'll try disabling it and the above steps and will accept this as a solution if it works.

    Update: Solution was either this or the fact that fabric licences were distributed to everyone.

    Thank you

Is this a Pro or Premium workspace?  Are you giving access to the workspace or the app? Did you allow re-share?

    Hi lbendlin,

    1. The workspace is a pro workspace
    2. I'm giving access to the workspace - we don't have an app set up

    3. Do you mean the below button? I haven't shared the report with this link (I shared it with the 'People with existing access link).

     

    Thank you

      Yes, keep that unchecked. But you can enable the build permission.

        Hi lbendlin,

        I've tried sharing the below 2 links with a user who isn't a member/view/contributor of the workspace but he could still see the report.

        - One link was generated through 'People in your Organisation' with both settings unticked. (I knew he would be able to view the report with this link)
        - The other link had both settings unticked then I generated a link via 'People with Existing access' (these tick boxes don't seem to show for this option)

        Thanks
