I'm using Power BI and some other O365 services (e-mail, yammer etc.). A few days ago suddenly all my Yammer groups appeared as workspaces in Power BI menu. It's very annoying, I need only one or two workspaces for sharing my PBI reports. Searching for them in the long list is time consuming.

There should be a simple way to switch between only those workspaces, which one needs for Power BI report publishing.

It is a nightmare navigate trough such huge list of non-PowerBi workspace.
Just needed "hide" option.

RE: Hide non-Power BI workspaces from left menu

I have to agree with this. While the OPTION to have all O365 groups unified across Yammer, Planner, Teams, SharePoint and other applications is a great feature, sometimes we JUST want to create something isolated for ONE or a few applications.

The current experience is extremely poor. We log-in into Power BI and see all sorts of stuff that has nothing to do with our scope in Power BI. In fact a user might delete a workspace in Power BI not knowingly that is in fact the same as deleting the O365 group.

Ideally the O365 team (not the Power BI team) should have an advanced setting for each O365 group in which we can switch in which applications the group will be available.

OR AT THE VERY LEAST, the Power BI group should give us the option to add existing groups as workspaces or not, like the Anonymous user below said on September 06, 2017 21:40.

RE: Hide non-Power BI workspaces from left menu

I would like it if any 'workspaces' with no published reports were hidden by default. I'm part of a large organisation using O365 - as Yammer, Planner, Teams etc is becoming more popular, the list of 'workspaces' in Power BI is becoming almost unmanageable.

In the Teams and SharePoint, available groups are added in workspace by the owner (if nedeed).
Why can not in the Power BI implement the same way?)
