Power BI APP Multiple Audience

[VSY_90]

Hi All,

I have four Azure AD created and has assigned at Workspace level. For the one of report i have defined Dynamic RLS, and one of Viewer AD as assigned to report as part of RLS. 

Now when i try to use audience option in APP and made a report(Ex:- Rpt1) visible for some user by adding new audience, and then for super user i made visible of mutiple reports(Ex:- Rpt1 & Rpt2). After updating the app. once end user logs in he is able to see the Navigation pane to navigate between Audience and as well the other option and able to see other reports through the navigation inspite of he should not see the navigation on top of the report expect the Rpt1 on the App Screen.

Pls help the info what i am missing to work Audience Option work as expected.

Thanks in Advance

Hi , @VSY_90 

According to your description, you're having trouble using Audience. People who share see content they shouldn't.

We can see that there is a "worksapce user" on the right side of the Audience creation and it seems can not be deleted.

In other words, if there is a role in this workspace, then he can see all the audiences in the app.

If you want to display different tabs for different users based on this audience, you need to remove the permissions of the workspace and add them back to the corresponding audience permissions.

For more information, you can refer to :

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi, I know this is an old post but this is the only post I have come across describing this problem.

The problem is, as far as I understand, users of an app need to have access to the workspace in order for RLS permissions to work, in turn granting them access to all audiences in the app - is this correct?

Is there no way of removing the 'workspace users' from specific audiences in the app? 

As a result can RLS and Audiences work in conjunction in an app?

 Hi Matthew, Did you ever figure this out? I am in the same boat. I need users to be added to workspace as Viewer so RLS gets enforced. But now they can see other audiences' contents.
