Hi all,
I am currently working with one version of a report that holds 10 tabs, but in the end this will be divided in smaller reports/dashboards with 2-3 tabs each, depending on the end user that will access it.
My main goal is to have everything centralized, only having to modify one dataset and one report, so all sud-divisions of it are also updated. With this, if have found two problems:
This end users are either PBI Pro or non-PBI. Also, RLS does not suit for me in this case.
Is it possible to do what I want to do? Both managing only one report to create automatically updated sub-reports and restricting access to them inside a Workspace only to specified users/groups of users, what would be the correct approach?
Regards,
Antonio

@Anonymous There is no current support for dynamically hidding tabs in the same report. In addition, as you have discovered, there is no process that I am aware of that would allow you to use one report for all these needs. You would need to break it out. You could use the same dataset by using the Power BI Service as a datasource in the Desktop, and in that regard could manage any structural changes in one place, but the reports would need to be seperate.
Also, you mention Pro and non-Pro end users, this also will not work for non-pro users. Every user needs a Pro license at minumum in order for you to share content with them.
Hi @Anonymous,
In addition to the good explanation and solution provided by @Seth_C_Bauer on this issue, here is an idea about Page (Tab) level Security. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

Thank you for the prompt response @Seth_C_Bauer. About managing just one datasource, is it possible working with different workspaces? The idea is to have 1 WS for each user/group of users and, as far as I have investigated, there is no possibility to share datasets among WS.
@v-ljerr-msft A very good and very needed idea, already voted!
@Anonymous Unfortunetly, the partial solution falls to pieces in that instance as the dataset would need to be in the same workspace. Manual upkeep at this time is the only solution.
