Support the ability to create a workspace under another one, inheriting it's permissions. Then allow this sub workspace to refine the permissions, etc.
If users have access to the parent and the child workspaces, then dashboards would support tiles from either location.

RE: Support Workspace Hierarchy
Definitely need this. As it is Workspaces get messy very quickly and too many are created because you can't segregate content at all. Sub folders in a Workspace would fix that.
RE: Support Workspace Hierarchy
This is consistent with the behavior of Sharepoint Groups and even in Teams. There is no easy way of grouping similar areas together in way subsequent to their creation or a way to usefully organize upfront. In Power BI I think this grouping approach would be useful having access to nearly 100 workspaces is already overwhelming, and I would probably prefer it if the grouping approach could be done using tags, or filterable items so that I can group workspaces in more than one hierarchical tree - ie. according to a line of business all the workspaces or group all workspaces that relate to a specific functional area.
RE: Support Workspace Hierarchy
I was looking for the ability to have a hierarchy of folders within Workspaces. I don't care about the permissions issue. One additional issue for me is we are an O365 and Teams shop with o365 Groups acting as Power BI Workspaces. We would like o365 / Teams groups to be invisible to Power BI by default, and only include them via a deliberate enabling step.

HI, is there a way to find in MS is looking into this?

RE: Support Workspace Hierarchy
As time goes on, we keep adding reports to our workspaces. It is getting to be quite cumbersome to navigate to specific items. Creating another workspace just for organization creates administrative overhead that I don't think is necessary. Organizational hierarchies would help alleviate this mess. The permission inheritance described by OP sounds like it would be sufficient.
