Share a data source to let other users read it, refresh its OData URL from Power BI, and clone it for their own use. Sharing is read-only: recipients cannot rename, re-share, or delete the data source, and any edits they try in the form are rejected at save time.
Who can share
- Only the owner of a data source can manage its sharing list.
- To let someone else manage sharing, transfer ownership — see Transfer data source ownership.
Open the share dialog #
On Data Sources, open the row’s Actions menu and select Share.
Add or remove users #
Type each recipient’s email address and press Enter to add it as a token. To remove someone, click the small × on their token.
Each recipient must be a registered user of Power BI Connector for SAP in your tenant. Sharing with an unrecognised address will fail at save time with a clear inline message.
Save #
Select Save to apply the sharing changes. The dialog closes and the recipients can immediately find the data source under Shared with me in their data sources list.
What recipients see #
- The data source row appears under the Shared with me filter on their Data Sources page.
- Opening the row shows the same form as the owner sees, but with all inputs read-only and a yellow banner explaining the read-only state.
- The OData URL is the same one the owner uses, so the recipient can paste it into Power BI Desktop straight away.
- Recipients can clone the data source into their own list — see Clone a data source.
