Viewer Role Access query

[sushbhr02]

I want to give access to a end user(doesnt have PRO license) to create report from Datasets residing in a particular workspace.

Does providing VIEWER role in the workspace will give him the access to create report in the Desktop(using power bi dataset connector)

Hi @sushbhr02 

Please refer to Limitations and considerations

When using the Power BI service live connection, there are a few limitations and considerations to keep in mind.

• Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset using the Power BI service live connection.
• Free users only see datasets in their My Workspace and in Premium-based workspaces.

Your end user is a free user, so your workspace needs to be a Premium-based workspace. Or he couldn't get access to the dataset in this workspace.

yes, but you also need to give them build permission.
