Option to Hide or Restrict Developer-Created Bookmarks from End Users in Power BI Reports

Hi Microsoft Fabric Community,

Currently in Power BI, all report bookmarks created by developers are visible and accessible to end users in the online service. This creates a limitation, especially when page-level security or conditional navigation is implemented.

Even if certain pages are restricted through navigation or RLS logic, end users can still access those pages directly by clicking on the developer-created bookmarks, which defeats the purpose of page-level control and can potentially expose restricted information.

To improve security and user experience, Power BI should provide an option to hide developer-created bookmarks from end users, or at least restrict their interactivity for viewers (Who are having viewer access to the workspace).

Please find the snapshot for reference :

This enhancement would:

• Prevent users from bypassing navigation or security controls.

• Allow developers to safely use bookmarks for internal or design purposes.

• Ensure that only intended, user-facing bookmarks (like navigation buttons) are exposed to report consumers.

Proposed solution:
Add a setting in the report or Power BI Service (e.g., under View or Bookmark options) to:

• “Hide developer bookmarks from viewers”
  or

• “Restrict end-user interaction with developer bookmarks.”

This will make Power BI more secure and compliant with common governance practices
