    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/313"&gt;@Greg_Deckler&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the suggestion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When you build the mez, all it's doing is packaging the files up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you change the .mez extension to a .zip you can open it up and see the source.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm guessing even if I sign the file it will just be signed with a hash of the contents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't even think there is a way to obfuscate the code with M either.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm wondering if my option is to get it certified by Microsoft and get put into Power BI by default.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Chris&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've written a custom connector and I want to send this out to some users to test.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way I can protect the source code for this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Chris&lt;/P&gt;</description>
