Hello @OriBy ,

You can follow the images below. Assigning a role to the workspace is not necessary unless required. However, if you share a dashboard with the "Build" option, you must also share your semantic model(If in your dashboard there are visualization that pinned from other pbı reports) with the "Build" permission.

Hello @OriBy ,

Could you go to the semantic model and follow the below images. You stakeholder needs build user in manage permission that means your stakeholder can open the semantic model in the PBI desktop if the tenant same. İf tenant is not same you need to configure another thing in your pbı desktop.

Hi @OriBy ,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Try checking the sensitivity of the semantic model before sending.
Are you sending the semantic model with same tenant or different?
