For instance, members of a workspace can view, edit, or manage reports, datasets, and dashboards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roles and Permissions:<\/strong> Workspaces offer different roles \u2014 Admin, Member, Contributor, and Viewer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Content Management:<\/strong> Users within a workspace can upload and manage reports, dashboards, and datasets. This enables centralized access to all essential analytics for a team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Sharing:<\/strong> Workspaces make it easy to share reports and dashboards with other users in the organization.

Classic Workspaces (Old Experience)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use Case:<\/strong> These were the original workspace version, and are usually used for legacy <a href=\"https:\/\/chartexpo.com\/blog\/power-bi-dashboard-vs-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboards and reports<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Features:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited collaboration options.<\/li>\n<li>Roles include Admin, Member, Contributor, and Viewer, but with fewer granular permission controls compared to modern workspaces.<\/li>\n<li>Primarily designed for small groups (or single-user) control of content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. New Workspaces (Modern Workspaces)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use Case:<\/strong> These workspaces are the current standard, and they offer enhanced control and collaboration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Features:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhanced collaboration with richer role-based access control.<\/li>\n<li>Roles are more flexible, and that include Admin, Member, Contributor, and Viewer. Additionally, new roles like Workspace Member and Workspace Admin give room for better control over data and content.<\/li>\n<li>Support organizational workspaces, and makes it easier to manage content across the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"permissions-in-the-premium-power-bi-workspace\">Permissions in the Premium Power BI Workspace<\/h2>\n<h3>Key Workspace Roles:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Admin:<\/strong> Admin has full control, including managing users, content, and workspace settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Member:<\/strong> A member can create, edit, and view content but cannot manage user roles (or workspace settings).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contributor:<\/strong> A contributor can add content (like reports and dashboards) but cannot modify workspace settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Viewer:<\/strong> A viewer has view-only access to content with no editing (or sharing capabilities).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Content Permissions:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Datasets:<\/strong> Users with build permissions can create reports. Others can only view (or interact) with data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reports\/Dashboards:<\/strong> Permissions allow either editing (or view-only) access, and that depends on the user\u2019s role.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>External Sharing:<\/h3>\n<p>Premium workspaces support sharing content externally with users outside your organization. The recipient should have a Power BI Pro license or be within a Premium workspace.<\/p>\n<h3>Row-Level Security (RLS):<\/h3>\n<p>RLS can be implemented to restrict data access based on the user&#8217;s role, and it ensures that the user only sees data relevant to them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-create-power-bi-workspace\">How to Create a Power BI\u00a0 Workspace?<\/h2>\n<p>Professionals who use <a href=\"https:\/\/chartexpo.com\/blog\/power-bi-in-office-365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Power BI in Office 365<\/a>, Power BI Web, and other Power BI services can start creating reports, including those featuring a <a href=\"https:\/\/chartexpo.com\/blog\/sankey-diagram-in-power-bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sankey chart in Power BI<\/a>, by following the steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stage 1: Log into Power BI, enter your email, and click the \u201cSubmit\u201d button.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chartexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/power-bi-workspaces-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/chartexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/power-bi-workspaces-1.jpg\" alt=\"Power BI Workspaces\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll be redirected to a Microsoft account.
