Hi dweir002,

After research, it's impossible. To create an app, you first need to create an app workspace. The workspace is the staging area for an app and serves as the container for the content in the app. You will be able to add other collaborators and admins to these workspaces. Once you add all the content, you will publish the app to end users.

You can share the dashboard or report to the users outside the workspace. More details, please follow the steps of this articles: Share your Power BI dashboards with coworkers and others and Share Power BI reports with your coworkers.

Best Regards,
Angelia

Thanks for your help.  I found the issue, I was playing around with the row level security and that was the reason the users could not see my content.
