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.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Unfortunately, this limitation is very frustrating. I have several requirements that require the creation of more than one app from the same workspace. 1 workspace can have several reports with different audiences and I cannot distribute the content properly because of this limitation. Why does Microsoft not implement this feature. It would be of a very high added value.
"Soon we will allow you to discover and use a dataset across workspaces..."
This will not solve the problem!!!
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Shared datasets do not address this issue!! There's no reason to not allow 2 or multiple apps per workspace. Is impossible to manage multiple workspaces with multiple duplicated reports.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
For us, the idea of multiple apps per workspace is more about curating reports for different user roles than it is about datasets. For example - we have 10 unique reports, 2 of which have sensitive information. Group A should only see the 8 generic reports and Group B can see all 10. Without multiple apps, I have to create 2 workspaces, 1 with the 8 reports for Group A and another that either only contains the 2 additional reports for Group B or containing all 10 (duplicating the 8). This is simply not acceptable for an enterprise level application.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
@Administrator, shared dataset will not cut it for us either. We need to leverage deployment pipelines also.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Also agree this would be very helpful!
Scenario - I have a list of reports pointing to several shared datasets.
Report 1, Report 2, Report 3, Report 4 and Report 5 is linked to one app
Report 1, Report 4 and Report 5 is linked to a second app - hence additional workspace, hence multiple publishing instances.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
I'm don't agree with marking this comment as Under Review and then stating "Currently we are not planning to allow multiple apps to be published from one workspace. ".
We currently use a data set across multiple workspaces and we have problems in keeping the content and security in-sync between the workspaces. There would be significant advantages being able to create multiple apps from one workspace. Can you review again please and update the Administrator comment?

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Shared datasets do not address this issue. If you are using deployment pipelines or are separating content via dev, qa, spt and prod workspaces, you cannot modify the shared dataset to point to a different datasource (dev,qa,spt,prod) through the service. You can only do this from Power BI desktop. You will have to duplicate the shared dataset in any workspace you are using it in in order to solve this problem which defeats the purpose of using a shared dataset.
Multiple apps for one workspace would allow you to have all the datasets you need in one set of workspaces. This also allows you to secure reports through apps and separate access without the need of having to create multiple workspaces. This is very painful to do right now, especially when you are doing it for just 1 report. In turn you have to create 3 to 4 workspaces (dev,qa,spt,prod) just to secure 1 report for a set of users.
Please allow for multiple apps to be published on top of a single workspace.
