access app with several rls protected reports

Hello Community, 

I have an urgent issue with the following situation. 

I have a workspace "Operational Scorecards" with two copied reports from other workspaces, protected via individual RLS, and one dataset with report without restrictions. 

All is published in an (organization) app. 

When users call this app, it will show blocked visuals for all of them except members of the other (original dataset) workspaces.

Has anyone an idea?

Thanks

That's working as designed. If you are accessing someone else's dataset that is residing in a different workspace then all your users need access to your workspace/app and to that other workspace/app.  RLS will be applied on top of that access.

So if I have a copied report for a different user group, I still need to give them access rights to the original workspace/app?

 

absolutely.
