Hi,
Referring to the article powerbi-service-share-unshare-dashboard, tried to share a report as mentioned there (given the notes below)... but is not working unless you share the dashboard.
Is there any way to share just report without sharing dashboard? Note I don’t want to do “Publish to Web”, as it can be shared on internet.
Share just a report
We've seen that when you share a dashboard that has tiles that link to reports, those reports are also shared at the same time. But what if you want to share just a report? Simply send the report page URL to your colleagues. As long as they are members of the same distribution group, in the same email domain as you, or have at least one dashboard that links to that same report (the dashboard has tiles that were pinned from that report), they'll be able to open the report.
