Users who do not have Edit permission to the workspace can not download pbix files from Power BI service.
I want users who have only browsing rights to be able to download PBIX files from the Power BI service.

RE: About downloading PBIX files

To expand on our needs around this Idea, which are similar but slightly different, but still around downloading PBIX files from PBI Service...

Given:
A PBI dataset (data model) resides in workspace A
AND
a PBI Desktop user is provided Build permission to the dataset in workspace A
AND
the PBI Desktop user is NOT a Member, Contributor, Viewer or Admin of workspace A
AND
the PBI Desktop user has sourced the dataset (data model) from workspace A into PBI Desktop
AND
the PBI Desktop user has created a "thin" report using the dataset sourced from workspace A
AND
the PBI Desktop user has published the "thin" report into workspace B, where he is a Member or Contributor

When:
the user opts to Download the "thin" report to their PBI Desktop from workspace B

Then:
the user should be able to do so

Current behavior:
The user is not able to download the "thin" report from workspace B unless they are also made a Contributor or Member of workspace A
