    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

Hi Teaman 

 

Thanks lbendlin in advance for your contribution to the forum.


You can troubleshoot the issue by following these steps:

1. You can create a report in another workspace, and then share it with members who are not in this workspace through share, and check whether they can access it.

2. If the report can be accessed normally, please check the settings related to user share in the Export and share setting in the admin portal

 

3. If you want to restrict access to people, you can try setting a sensitivity label by following the link below, properly labeling your data with a sensitivity label ensures that only authorized people can access your data:

Here are some links for your reference:
