Not able to connect to Dataset

Hi community, I have a problem.

 

A collegue is trying to connect to a dataset I've made. I have giving permission on cube level and data level in SQL, but in app.powerbi.com, he is not able to see the shared dataset and when opening a report which is using the dataset, he get follow error: "Looks like we're unable to access the dataset. Please contact the owner of the dataset"

I cannot remember, where I need to delegate further permissions. 

 

Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar issue where I am granting read/build permissions to a dataset to a specific user, and they can not see it in the list of available datasets in Power Bi desktop.  I had them check the Power Bi Service datasets and it is not listed for them there either.  I have no row level security set up either.  I've also tried some basic files just using SharePoint Excel files that the user has access to, just to make sure it wasn't an underlying data security issue, and they can not see those datasets either.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi @DataJoe ,

Whether the related dataset still exist? What's the connection type of the data source? Please check if hit any limitation which include in this official documentation when using the Power BI service live connection.

In addition, please try to grant that colleague with Build permission of dataset. Later check if he/she can view the report normally.

hi @DataJoe - Have you also provided access at the dataset level within Power BI service? 

If you have created Roles within the dataset, you should be able to assign the user access following the below steps.
