permissions - build / reshare

I don't want users to access the dataset and create their own reports.  I DO want them to be be able to export data from the visuals in the reports I publish.  Seems like if I remove build, they cannot export.  What am I missing?

    You are correct that currently that is a limitation of the way it is implemented when sharing data via Apps.

    This was my main problem when the viewer role came out.  THey told me to add build, well then they can edit the dataset.  No that's not a solution.  Yes, you are correct.  The more input you provide the sooner it will get fixed.  I know they know now.  They need to have the option like checkboxes (read, update, delete, export), that kind of thing and allow you to specify per group what you want your users to do.  Some I am fine with just export and others need more powerful feature set, but I need granularity to do so.
