Create multiple apps from same workspace infect from same Dataset without replicating the dataset multiple times. only option we have now is to update the app and only one app per workspace can be created which a kind of restrict the workspace usability. If we can create multiple apps share it with different users without creating multiple workspace ... means same dataset no dataset replication, will save the storage as well.

This is essential for larger organisations to avoid workspace Sprawl!

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

This feature is a must! We have datasets and want to show data to specific audiences. This is not currently supported.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

This would make my life a lot easier being able to create mulitple apps for different audiences from one workspace.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

This would be great! You can have a common dataset in one workspace doing one refresh, but child reports designed for different consumer groups based on these child reports.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

There is a big need in my company. We are delivering several apps for the same client. Additionally, we need to automate the publishing of application in the Power Shell script.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

We have an immediate need for this feature. Without it we'll end up with many more workspaces than we want to manage, as we migrate from another tool to Power BI. Thanks.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

Agree. I would like to extend this idea further. I would like a HR team to work in the HR Workspace and General Users to have HR (general) Workspace, both able to create reports and analyse. I would only have 1 desktop model (single source of truth), where HR would see all fields, then I would hide fields in HR (general) that are confidential.

Currently, piggy-backing a slave PBIX to a master PBIX doesn't solve this, as the fields are locked in the slave and can't be hidden.
