Workspace doesn't appear in PBI Desktop

[Fab_R]

Hello, I created a workspace for my colleague and assigned her as a member to it. When she wants to publish a report from PowerBI Desktop to this workspace, she cannot see it in the list. How could this be? (when I do the same thing, I can see it)

Hi @Fab_R ,

What is the type of this workspace? If it is a classic workspace and set "member can only view content", they may do not have permission to edit content in it. Does she have a pro license to access this workspace in Power BI Service? Could you please verify if she can use "get data" - "local file" - "upload pbix" to get this pbix published in this workspace? Please also verify if the signed in user of Power BI Desktop have the correct permission in this workspace.

Best regards,

I tried it with a classic and new workspace. She can edit /publish etc. content from the workspace. She also has a pro licence. 

The problem seems to be that the report she wanted to publish was based on a dataset in a workspace she did not have rights for. She could base a new report on it, but publishing it to another workspace is not an option.

Thanks for your help!

I've only ever run into this when the workspace was in a different tenant than my login. You could check the Issues forum here:
