Give edit and save as copy access

[LinhNguyen]

Hi,

I have a report that I want to enable people in my company to save a copy of it in their workspsace or use the dataset but not to edit the original report.

What I have tried is to add people as members in my workspace but by doing that, they were able to edit my original report.

If I only share the report and dataset with them, they will not be able to save a copy and edit it in their workspace.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi @GilbertQ ,

is this still possible after the new Update for Multiple Audiences for PowerBI Apps? --> https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-sg/blog/announcing-public-preview-of-multiple-audiences-for-power-b...

When publishing an app, I don't have the option to check the box for "Allow users to make a copy of the reports in this app". In our app, users cannot save a copy of the report to edit it in their workspace. 

The Microsoft documentation found here doesn't reflect the new user interface after the update. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Hi @michael_5234 

Currently it is a known limitation when using the new app experience that the "make a copy" does not work.

Hi @GilbertQ,

thanks for the reply. Do you know if this feature will be available again in the future? If so, do you know a timeline?

Best,

Michael

Hi @LinhNguyen 

When you create an App, you can give enable the options as shown below.

This will enable the people to save a copy of the existing report, or connect to dataset from their Power BI Desktop under Power BI Datasets
