    RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

    Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

    Thank you all for the feedback since our last update. We're working on building a new navigation experience to allow authors to customize a folder-like structure for all the contents within Power BI Apps. Stay tuned!

    Does this grouping function provide ability to set access control by organization?

    The current preview of the new navigation is not better. If the 'Owner' is always the workgroup, that doesn't really help much. I have 20 analysts utilizing one workgroup building reports off of one dataset and sharing them via content packs, we need more flexibility on how we group and categorize the reports within the workgroup than the current preview allows.

    Needs to be some kind of organization. My preference would be tags on reports with the ability to create "Smart Folders" based on a query. I also want to be able to create these folders for users, not count on each of them to make their own structure.

    Arranging the dashboard is the best way for organizing

    Is there any update on the "ability to better organize your content" referenced by Amanda Cofsky?
