Error Giving Permission: You Can't See the Underlying Dataset

I'm trying to give permissions to a person, and I'm receiving an error that says: "You cannot see the content of this report because you do not have permissions to the underlying dataset. Please contact the dataset owner to request access."

The dashboard has two dataflows associated. I've already set permissions to this person on all related workspaces and ensured that she has Power BI Pro. Still, she receives the error message.

Does anyone knows a solution?

I've solved the problem. It was a bug on this person's account.

Here's what I've done:

- Remove the Microsoft Fabric (Free) license
- Access app.powerbi.com again and complete the registration
- The environment will be reconfigured
- Then, assign the Power BI Pro license again
