Similar to the 'Build' permission for datasets, It would be very useful to be able to manage access to dataflows at the individual dataflow level.

Currently, it is only possible to grant access to consume a dataflow by granting at least 'Viewer' permissions to the whole workspace that contains the dataflow in question, which has the undesired effect of opening up any other dataflows to the added user. The only workaround for this is a dedicated workspace for each dataflow (or a set of common access dataflows).

Whilst the workaround does provide the functionality required, it results in a much more complex and crowded Power BI estate for a Power BI Administrator to manage. Having the 'Build' Permission available, would enable a much less complex, and concise Power BI estate.
