Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Very interesting.

 

Sounds like something that you should post to  https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/ . 😛

 

Nothing such is available as far as I know.

 

Privacy and security are taken very seriously at PowerBI.The recommended way to share reports is still through PowerBI.com, unless you are coauthoring the reports together.
