Direct Lake Model Access Question

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts, guidance, experience they would be willing to share with an issue we're having.

We have a Fabric Lakehouse in a data engineering workspace. We have build our own semantic model on the lakehouse (because the default ones usually don't cut it) that uses a Direct Lake connection to the lakehouse.

We have a "thin" report built on top of that semantic model that is published in a separate workspace called Semantic Models.

We are trying to give users access to just the report but they can't see data. We have given READ only access the Direct Lake semantic model, but users still can't see the data. I really didn't want to add users to the dev engineering workspace or give access to the lakehouse itself other than just being able to read the data for report viewing purposes. We gave the user access tot he Lakehouse's SQL end point (read access) and they say they still can't see any data in the report.

Where am I missing an access step?
