We have the following situation:


Workspace A with a shared dataset. All access to this dataset is managed by and external tool and AD groups. This is all working as expected.


We noticed the following:


User A created a report on top of this dataset and publishes the report in Workspace B in which he has a contributor role.


User B want to have access to this report and requests access. Since User A created the report, he will get the notification to approve / reject this request.


When he approves this request, User B receives read (or even build) access to the dataset that resided in Workspace A, to which nobody has direct access.


This does not seem like behaviour I expect, because this way everybody can grant access to a dataset / workspace to which they do not have access.


In case a shared dataset is used, only people with access to the related workspace should be able to give dataset permission.
