Cannot use Office365 Distribution Lists for Workspace App Membership

[swise001]

I've been using Office365 Distribution lists to set the membership of roles in Power BI Service.  This has worked wonderfully.  However, when I try to use those same groups to set the membership of a new Workspace App - I find that those lists do not even populate in the membership search results.  

Is this a known limitation of workspace app membership.  Is there a workaround, or must each indivdidual member be entered 1 by 1?  

(Distribution groups all appear when setting Row-Level Security)

The same exact behavior does not replicate when trying to add members (in bulk) to a workspace app group.

Hi @swise001,

From this article, the email address we typed into Add workspace members textbox must be individual account. 

Best regards,
