Hi,
We have a client with HQ and 8 branches, which I built a report for each. The client acquired 9 Power BI Pro licenses and I proceeded to share their reports to them. So far everything went well and everyone was happy. That is until the client contacted us on Monday to let us know that they weren't able to view the reports any longer.
The PowerBI interface loads with a popup in the center reading (translated from French) "Verifying report security", "Please wait while we verify the permissions". Then nothing happens. This loading popup remains forever and nothing happens.
Some things to note:
- There is no row level security in any of the reports
- I didn't make any changes to the reports or the datasets
- I checked the gateway, it was running fine. But said there was an update available, which I did, but to no avail
- I can open the reports on the Web with my licence, no problem (afterall it is in my workspace).
- My boss can open the reports with his licence, no problem (different workspace).
Things we tried that did not work:
- Updating the gateway to the latest verion
- Unsharing and resharing the reports
- Asking the client to empty their browser's cookies, cache, etc.
What we tried that "sorta" worked:
- Ask the client to open their browser "in private" mode. She was able to view the report, but claims there were small visual inaccuracies (which I can't verify for myself).
Anybody has an idea what could have caused this sudden change? We are at a loss, and we don't believe we are at fault, but still would like to help our client.
Thanks,
Steven
