Can a user access dataset in the app and create report on top of it ?

[Venkata1858]

If users have access to the Power BI app, and the app was published without the option for access to the underlying datasets, do the users still see the datasets in that app when attempting a Power BI dataset connection from their Power BI Desktop?

Can someone answer my question 

Thanks in advanse.

Hi @Venkata1858 ,

In Power BI Desktop: from the Home ribbon, select Get data > Power BI datasets.

You see all the datasets you have access to, regardless of where they are:

The datasets you see in this list meet at least one of the following conditions:

• The dataset is in one of the new workspace experience workspaces, and you're a member of that workspace. See Considerations and limitations.
• You have Build permission for the dataset, which is in a new workspace experience workspace.
• The dataset is in your My Workspace.

If you're a free user, you only see datasets in your My Workspace, or datasets for which you have Build permission that are in Premium-capacity workspaces.

If these conditions are not met, they cannot see the datasets.

For more information,please see:Create reports based on datasets from different workspaces

From the desktop, they should only see datasets that they have access to
