Just like outstanding requests to assign app/workspace permission at a folder level within the app, we need to be able to give some users access to just individual dataflows without giving them access to the entire workspace that the dataflows are contained in.

RE: Dataflow Permissions
Permissions to use Dataflows as a source in PBI Desktop should mimic that of a dataset.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
Voting on the revised version. We manage many dataflows in one workspace and then want to share them from this one workspace with multiple departments.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
I have expanded on and refreshed this Idea in the hope that it gets more attention/traction.

RE: Dataflow Permissions
This is my #1 need. This would greatly simplify my ability to organize dataflows by department/function across the Enterprise. Without this, the organization is much less intuitive.
PLEASE CONSIDER. PLEASE UPVOTE!
RE: Dataflow Permissions
An additional context this comes up in is I'd like to give users the ability to consume an individual dataflow, but not the ability to delete it.
Currently when giving Contributor or Member role to a user, it also gives them the ability to delete the dataflow.
Since there is no 'recycle bin' this is going to mess up any datasets that depend on the specific GUID of the former Dataflow.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
Yes, exactly this! I have several business-unit-wide Dataflows I want to make available to report creators, but I don't want them to have access to the Management's business-unit Reports (all in the same Premium workspace)
RE: Dataflow Permissions
We can't use data flows currently - no way I am giving users access to everything in a workspace - so they can access one dataflow. I am also not creating a new workspace for each dataflow.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
Not being able to granr permissions at the dataflow level defeats the other advantages of dataflows. We would like to have one copy of the dataflow instead of multiple copies just because of the security issue.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
I agree. We need to be able to give users build or view permission to Dataflows like we can with Datasets. This will provide finer control on who can access what data within a Workspace without giving them the ability to create, update, or delete content within the Workspace. This will also reduce the number of workspaces that have to be created.
RE: Dataflow Permissions
At the time of this comment, there is only security at the workplace scope for Dataflows. It would help to have the ability to secure at the following scopes:
1) Dataflow (model scope)
2) Dataflow Entity (table scope)
3) Entity Column
4) Entity Row
