Thanks for your response. What do you mean with sharing the app with no ability to get to the dashboard?

 

thanks

HI maserr ,

 

I should have been a bit more precise - what I mean is that when you share the app, do not give them permissions.  I am specifically referring to these settings that should be off:

Allow all users to connect to the app's underlying datasets using the Build permission.
Allow users to make a copy of the reports in this app.
Allow users to share the app and the app's underlying datasets using the share permission.

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

    Hi collinq ,

     

    in that case, the user would be still able to connect to the analysis server using Power BI Desktop, isn't it?

     

    Thanks

      Hi, maserr 

      People who have permission of  build/ App (build) have acess to  connect to the dataset using Power BI Desktop.
      You can go to dataset->manage permissions to check it.

       

      For your requirement ,please  follow tese steps.
      1.Unpublish current app
      2.Remove Build permission for a dataset in an app 
      3.republish app to only share dashboard and report to user : not give user any permissions for the app’s underlying dataset.

      Best Regards,

        Dear Eason,

         

        The user already do not have these permissions, but please do not forget that my connection is Live Connection so the user is in a role in the cube in order to access to data (in order to see data in the application and not to see the reports empty)

         

        Thanks in advance
