Currently --- In an APP Workspace we can set APP Workspace permissions. "Members Can Edit Power BI Content" or "Members can only view Power BI Content".

We need to be able to set permissions on a Report (Individual R/W or R/O) to "lock down" the reports in case someone edits or deletes someone else's report. This would also allow creating a "Template" report that is R/O so that users could "Save AS" and use it to create their own. Default permission would be R/O for everyone except "Owner" and "Admin"

Big need for this as we're exploring self-service solutions.

RE: App Workspace Report Level Permissions

I completely agree with Jeffs' comment on promoting the report. Security is a must for us especially around preventing users from deleting other users reports. At the moment there is no way to prevent this or recover if accidentally deleted.

RE: App Workspace Report Level Permissions

Workspaces should have two environments. One for QA/Staging, and another for Production. Only the admin can promote dashboards/reports to Production. The data sets do not change in Production until the admin has promoted the dashboard/report.

RE: App Workspace Report Level Permissions

This is a great idea. A read-only report that can be used as a "Template" for users to base a personalized report version, by Save As to their My Workspace, is a high-priority Enterprise use case I see often.
