Improvements to Power BI Request Access
We’ve upgraded the experience for users who create PivotTables connected to Power BI datasets. Prior to the improved experience, when users tried to refresh a PivotTable connected to a dataset that they did not have access to, nothing would happen. Now, a dialog box appears that informs them that they do not have access to the dataset, and allows them to click a link to request access from the owner. Once access is granted, users can go back to the PivotTable and refresh to continue their analysis.
