"Allow Live Connection" missing
Hi. All the settings are in there but the names might not be as you expect. For example, live connection for power bi shared datasets is: "Use datasets across workspaces".
I hope that's what you were looking for
Thank you both for your good answers!
ibarrau: I checked this setting "Use datasets across workspacs" and it is enabled globally, still I wasnt able to connect to a shared dataset (I have build permission and am Admin of the workspace).
I did a test and added myself to "Users can work with Power BI datasets in Excel using a live connection" and now, I can connect to the shared dataset without any problem.
This means, that this option also needs to be granted to be able to use shared datasets.. is this a bug or can it be meant to be used in that way?
I find it very problematic because we are not allowing Analyze in Excel.
Thank you
