I am testing the impact of removing permissions to a Content Pack. Here is the scenario:
The user's continued visibility to the copied contents was a result that was not expected by me. Is this continued visibility in fact the expected behavior from the Power BI Service?
Hi @tcash,
Based on my test, if we publish the content pack to a specific group and the user1 is a member of this group, this user can get content pack to their workspace and create a copy. You can see that the copy of the dataset is shared, as there is a share button at the head of the dataset copy. Once we remove the user1 from that specific group, the user1 will not able to access the original content pack content and copy. Sometimes, there is a delay after we remove permission for the user, you can refresh the page to see if copy disappear.

Hello Qiuyun,
I retested and my results differ from yours. Here are the steps and results that I tested this morning.
The organizational content pack could not be copied.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
Regarding the possible delays in timing of permissions...I tested the scenario through Step 6 and waited for an hour. Group A can still see and use the content pack report and the custom copy. I will look again tomorrow to see if those reports to which Group A no longer has access are still visible.
Regards Tim
Hi @tcash,
I want to confirm something from you:
1. User 1 Creates a new content pack with a report and a dashboard with just a test message in its content.
Did that report and dashboard exist in a Power BI group or My Workspace?
2. Give permission to a Group A.
What's the "Group A"? It's a Power BI group member or another thing? Can you tell us how did you grant permission?
3. Group A retrieves the Content Pack via Get Data and can see the report
In which workspace to get data, My Workspace or Power BI group?
It would be better if you could share more detail steps for us to reproduce the issue.
Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu
Hello,
First of all, I entered this scenario in the Service forum because I did not know whether this was the expected behaviour or a bug. Perhaps I should have record it in the Issues forum. In any event, here are the answers to your most recent questions:
1. User 1 Creates a new content pack with a report and a dashboard with just a test message in its content.
Did that report and dashboard exist in a Power BI group or My Workspace? I did not initially mention whether the source of the Power BI objects came from a Power BI group or My Workspace thinking the source type was not relevant. However, the report and Dashboard in fact did exist in a Power BI group called Group B.
2. Give permission to a Group A.
What's the "Group A"? It's a Power BI group member or another thing? Can you tell us how did you grant permission? Group A is a Power BI group. When Group B, the Power BI Group author of the Content Pack, published the Content Pack...Group B gave access permissions to Group A to retrieve the Content Pack.
3. Group A retrieves the Content Pack via Get Data and can see the report
In which workspace to get data, My Workspace or Power BI group? Group A, a Power BI group, retrieves the Content Pack into its Power BI Group Workspace and not into My Workspace.
