With the workspace permissions assigned accordingly, we can see how permissions inheritance work if we share a dashboard with a new person. In our example, we have done the following:

1. First, we clicked on our LearnPowerBI dashboard.
2. Then, we clicked on Share in the ribbon to display the Share dashboard dialog.

3. We then shared the report with a user named Shane and left all of the checkboxes in their default state. This includes the following:

• Allow recipients to share your report: This assigns the reshare permission
• Allow users to build new content using the underlying datasets: This assigns the build permission to the underlying dataset

4. Afterward, we clicked on the Access tab of this dialog. We can see both the inherited and individually assigned permissions, as shown in the following screenshot:

Note that, in this interface, the inherited and assigned permissions are as follows:

• Gregory Deckler – Owner
• Kenneth – Owner
• David – Read and edit
• Mark – Read
• Shane – Read and reshare

Shane has the reshare permission because we left the Allow recipients to share your report box checked when sharing. If we had unchecked this box, Shane would only have Read permission to the dashboard.

Also, note that the ellipses menu only appears for Shane. The options in the ellipses menu allow us to change Shane's permissions to Read, Read and reshare, or Remove access. In this interface, the ellipses menu only appears for users that have been specifically assigned object permissions through the Share interface. Users that have permission inherited from workspace-level security do not have an ellipses menu.

5. If the Manage permissions link at the bottom of this dialog is clicked, this brings up a different permissions interface and we can see that the permission assignments look somewhat different, as shown in the following screenshot:

The inherited permissions show the roles from the workspace-level assignments, while the assigned permissions for Shane show Read and reshare. We also have an ellipses menu for David and Mark, as well as Shane.

6. Clicking the ellipses for David or Mark provides us with the option to Add reshare permissions while clicking the permissions for Shane provides the option to Remove reshare as well as Remove access. Because David and Mark have been assigned access at the workspace level, we cannot remove their access here. Kenneth does not have an ellipses menu because Kenneth has no more permissions to add.

Hence, we can conclude that the following workspace-level permissions translate to the corresponding object-level permissions for dashboards according to the following table:
