Helper IVsharing dataflows - only via member/contributor permission ?
To access a dataflow you indeed need at least Contributor rights to the workspace.I just tested this: With the Viewer role you do have access to the dataflow in Power BI Desktop, but you can't see the dataflow in the workspace.
In my opinion you can't edit a dataflow unless you created it yourself. That has to do with the access to the Data Lake folders that have been created:

frano72Thanks Nicky !
Not sure what i did wrong in my initial testing, but did it again and it was as you say.
Viewer gives them rights to connect to dataflows from Power BI Desktop.
Perfect - exactly what I wanted cleared up.
I still think its a bit strange that I couldn't find any MS arcticles or guidance that specifically covers this pont of how to provide access to dataflows ! Maybe it was meant to be really obvious and no guidance was needed !
