Just like outstanding requests to assign app/workspace permission at a folder level within the app, we need to be able to give some users access to just individual dataflows without giving them access to the entire workspace that the dataflows are contained in.

RE: Dataflow Permissions

This is one place power bi is really lacking. It great that Microsoft is trying to make information more accessible but there are data security structures that need to be supported. Not everyone should be able to see all data from a data sources, I should be able to have one master Dataflow which pulls all the data from a system, and then parse it into sub-flows based on what information each contributor\member is permitted to have access to.

RE: Dataflow Permissions

Great suggestion! Now it seems I have to create different Workspaces each containing different Dataflows in order to control the access to them....
