cannot remove direct access from semantic model
Hi MamaHani2,
Since your access is granted via the entra group (admins), but you are still listed under direct access, it might be due to previously assigned permissions or tenant-level settings, please follow below steps:
- Check if the direct access is assigned manually, open the Manage Permissions pane and verify if your user account is listed under Direct Access separately. If listed, try removing it again. If removal is not possible, it may be inherited through a backend policy.
- Verify Tenant-Level settings, check in the Power BI Admin Portal , go to Tenant Settings, and look for any settings under "Admin API Settings" or "Workspace Settings" that might grant automatic access to semantic models for service admins.
If you still face the issue, I suggest you to please raise a support ticket.
