workspace permission

I’m on Pro-user license ,  need to share reports/dashboard with colleagues (all free users)

All published  content on premium work-space   

 

If I give permission only @ report  level not workspace – users cant see ( this was  instruction I had from internal IT team !)

 

My question – do I need to grant all consumers access to the workspace also  ?

If yes - which level ? Viewer , Member or contributor  

Need Help

    Hi - I've been testing for few days now
    I can confirm that I am publishing all reports/dashboards to premium workspace and I'm on Pro-License

    For my free users - if I gave permission at report level or dashboard - not working - error read can't load model
    if I grant them access to workspace as well - as Viewer - same error

    when I grant them access to workspace at contributor level - it works

     

    a bit confusing - must admit

    Hi neees78 ,

     

    My question – do I need to grant all consumers access to the workspace also ?

    Ans:

    1. Make sure premium capacity is enabled in the intended workspace. Then try the same thing, i.e., provide access to free users at report level. Also, please instruct free users to check the access in incognito mode.

    2. If point 1 doesn't help, then I think "Yes", you have to add them to workspace.

     

    If yes - which level ? Viewer , Member or contributor

    Ans: Even Viewer should work.

    Hi, neees78 

     

    According to my test, you don't need to give permission to the workspace, but only to the report level, however, this is not enough to access, it will prompt the user to have access to the base dataset, in my test, even if I give the user access to the base dataset still can't access, the final solution is to need a Pro or PPU license to see.
