How does alias email group work exactly in Power BI Service ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In my organization, we have different alias email group, for example an alias email group would contain person A email, person B email, and person C email.

What I have imagined was in the Power BI Service, when I share the report to an alias email group, all the people in that alias email group should have access to the report, since those people are in that alias email group. (No row-level security is implenmented is that report)

But the reality is none of them can access to the report using their own email address (not the alias email group), and I have to share the report one email by one email to share with them.

I'm wondering is this how it is ? Or if I'm missing anything in the process ?

Thank you very much for your help!

I don't think distribution lists are a feature for non-premium capacities.

I see, thank you for your clarification!

Thank you for your reply! To your questions, - I'm using the Power BI Pro account, not Premium account. No I have not modified the dataset permissions when I'm sharing the reports.

Thank you so much for your help!

Needs more details. Are you on shared capacity or on Premium? Is this a premium workspace? Have you modified the dataset permissions?
