Querying Power BI dataset from PowerApps required permissions

(0) ShareShare

So I've been trying to use data from my Power BI dataset in my app.

Before I've been using the Power Automate route and sending the result to my Power App, this method works fine for users with only read rights to the Power BI workspace.

 

Now I saw there is a Power BI connector in Power Apps, which would allow me to cut out the Power Automate step and query directly from the app. However when users with read-only permissions in the workspace try to execute the error:

PowerBI.ExecuteDatasetQuery mislukt: {"error":{"code":"PowerBIEntityNotFound","pbi.error":{"code":"PowerBIEntityNotFound","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DetailsMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"You cannot query the dataset 'dataset GUID here' by using the REST API because the dataset was not found or you do not have the required permissions. Please contact a workspace admin or a dataset owner to grant you the required permissions. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2190204 for more info on required permissions."}}]}}}

 

Is there a way to give users permission in the Power BI workspace, without granting them rights to modify the dataset or reports?

    For anyone reading this in the future, you can grant the user 'Build' permissons on the dataset to fix this error.
