PowerBI.com in D365FO - System report editor role as a subrole

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hi community,
we have a successful integration with PowerBI.com in our D365 FO.
Our users use it well and we have a team of super users that use edit Power BI functionalities.
However, when /System report editor/ role needed for edit functionalities is used as a sub role - Power BI tab doesn't show.
Again, when the role it is added to user as a main role everything works fine.
 
Are there limitations to using this role only as main role and not sub role?
Or it can be a sub role with some additional security configuration that we did not recognize?
 
Do any of you use this role successfully as a sub role in your environments?
 
Thank you in advance for any of your feedback!

    Hi Edna,
     
    The check on various places is done by evaluating if the user is directly assigned to the System report editor role. For that reason, assignment via a sub role is not working.
