You have a single workspace that contains several published reports and their semantic model. A freelance designer must be able to view one specific report to give feedback but must not see any other items in the workspace and must be prevented from creating new content from the dataset. Which approach should you use to meet the requirement with the least administrative effort?
Add the designer as a Viewer to the workspace and remove Build permission on the dataset.
Publish the report in a workspace app and give the designer access to the app only.
Use the Share option on the report and ensure Build permission on the dataset is not granted, without assigning any workspace role.
Copy the report and its dataset to a new workspace dedicated to the designer.
Sharing the individual report directly grants the designer View permission on that specific report without exposing other workspace items. To meet the requirement of preventing new content creation, the Build permission on the underlying semantic model must be explicitly unselected during the sharing process, as it is often granted by default. This approach fulfills all requirements with the least administrative effort. Adding the user to a workspace role would grant access to all items in the workspace. Publishing a single report in an app is more administrative overhead than direct sharing. Duplicating the report to a new workspace is inefficient.
