A Power BI audience is a defined group of users for a Power BI app that determines which reports and dashboards they can see. It's used to tailor and control content visibility for different teams or roles within the same app. See the video below for an overview of how to set up and maintain audiences.
Note that only administrators for the Power BI Workspace can manage audiences. CEO Juice does not manage users regardless of whether or not we help manage your Power BI.
-
Open the Power BI App: Launch the Power BI app in your browser and sign in with your credentials.
-
Navigate to the App: Go the app where you want to edit the audiences. You can find it in the list of apps on the left-hand side.
-
Access App Settings: Click on the three dots (ellipsis) next to the app name and select "Manage Permissions" from the dropdown menu.
-
Go to Audiences: In the settings menu, click on "Manage Audiences". This will show you the current audiences set up for the app.
- Edit Audiences: To add or remove users from an audience, click on the audience name. You can then add or remove users as needed.
-
Save Changes: After making your changes, make sure to save them. This will update the audience settings for the app.
- Test the Changes: It's a good idea to test the changes by logging in as a user who should be part of the audience to ensure they can see the appropriate content.
Audiences via Update App
If you already have the app built, you can also access via the Workspace:
1. via the Workspace, go to 'Update app':
2. Go to the Audience tab, then double click in + New Audience to rename (this name should be indicator for you of the level of permissions - Sales, Service, etc.)
3. Then add the users to have access to that audience AND use the eyeball to indicate if this report will be visible to the audience or not.
The crossed-out eyeball = no access as seen here:
4. Once done creating/editing all of your audiences, be sure to select Update App so these changes save.
If needed, you can copy this URL to provide end users a quick link to the app.
Any user accessing reports via the app will need a Power BI Pro license. We highly recommend NOT giving users access to the workspace as you then have no control over access, they will have access to all reports in the workspace.
