Workspaces -Not sharing Gateway

Hi All,

I have setup a on premise data gateway and configured with the reports which refresh correctly.

 

My issue is I don't want users who publish reports to workspace A which has permissions to the gateway to then be able to publish the same reports to a workspace B and still be able to refresh the reports. I have tested it with users accounts and they share across workspaces.

 

In the admin portal tentant settings I have tried disabling 'use data sets across workspace' but this doesn't work.

What is the suggested solution for this?

Thanks

Hi @ringovski,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community forum.

 

In Microsoft Fabric, go to the workspace where the dataset is located, click on 3 dots next to the dataset, and select Manage permissions to view and modify Build Permissions.

In the Permissions tab, click 3 dots next to a user's name, check for Build Permission, and remove or adjust their role as needed.

Hi @ringovski,

 

Thank you @Akash_Varuna for your response regarding the issue. Mostly, those workarounds work in this scenario. Additionally, I have points to add that may help in resolving the issue.

Users with Build Permissions on a dataset in Workspace A can reuse it in other workspaces. To prevent this, remove their Build Permissions in Workspace A.

As Community member mentioned allow only specific admins to publish datasets in Workspace A and restrict access by removing unnecessary contributors and members. Implement Row-Level Security (RLS) to control data visibility even if the dataset is shared.

Instead of using a single gateway for multiple workspaces, configure a separate gateway for each workspace.This prevents datasets in Workspace A from being accessed in Workspace B.

Glad I could assist! If this answer helped resolve your issue, please mark it as Accept as Solution and give us Kudos to guide others facing the same concern.

Thanks for the reply, where do I find the build permissions? I see user, user with share & admin.

Hi @ringovski 

  • Separate Gateways: Assign different gateways to each workspace and restrict data source access to specific users.

  • Restrict Dataset Sharing: In Admin Portal > Tenant Settings, disable Allow users to share datasets across workspaces to stop cross-workspace sharing.

  • Implement RLS (Row-Level Security): Use RLS to ensure data access is restricted based on user roles, even if datasets are accessed across workspaces.

  • Restrict Data Source Permissions: In Manage Gateways, limit data source access to specific users for each workspace.

  • Monitor Logs: Use Audit Logs to track unauthorized gateway usage.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I already changing the tenant settings is there something else that has to be done for it to work?
