The concept of OneLake and data shortcuts to reduce the duplication and maintenance of data tables is Awesome!


Similarly, an organization may want to manage report access by domains and workspaces, but there is a report that is necessary to be shared to multiple domains/groups. The desire is to maintain the report in both workspaces so that each group can have access to it. however, this requires 2 copies of the report to be maintained any time there are changes (difficult to maintain), OR a new workspace created that both groups can access (in some cases is not practical). The ability to create a Shortcut in workspace 2 to a report in workspace 1 would be helpful as the shortcut would grant access to the report for users of workspace 2 for that specific report without sharing the entire workspace or duplicating the report, increasing the maintenance/governance/deployment time and cost. With the Shortcut capability both groups can be looking at the Same Report without question of if the report in workspace 2 is the same version as in workspace 1.


Considerations: The Shortcut report would not have the edit option for anyone, only the source report can be edited.
