Thanks for the feedback scottball. The tooltips one is an issue as limited space on a page means that often a map does not take up a large part of a page so anything that can be done on this would help. 

 

As you can imagine we are not at all happy with the idea that an external user that we give access to a dashboad can download potentially thousands of lat longs that have taken us a huge investment to build up. We have a general issue with the lack of control over the Export Data function within Power BI but it is a particuarly large issue when it comes to mapping. It has been posted as an idea but does not seem to have got anyfeedback from Microsoft Anonymous are you able to shed any light on this one?

dcresp wanted to understand your scenario some more. Could you clarify how you are sharing the reports with your users? Are you thinking of the external sharing scenario, publish to web etc.? Can you send the link to the idea you're referring to?

    I at the moment, i would only share the report via a dashboard in PowerBi as the Sharing via publishing via web has no security. eo esentially is you publish suing the embeded code - this getnberates a link you can add it via an iframe ...

    .  If you copy that link back into any browser .. anyone could access that link with no security. so not convinced with Publish via web

    unless anyone has some good ways of sharing this link usind some security :(

    Regards

        Thank you for the link. I have been using this approach and it works well where i ahve shared dahashoards to specific users and have links withith thoer Intranet page -  however We have our Intranet Web site for the orgainisation , and there is some information that need to be seen by certrain users of the orgabisation(Prime stakeholders). In or for them to have the seemless look and feel that thay are still on the Intrenal site and have access to Some reports/ dashboards, I used the embeded codes to embed them witin an Iframe. Now with this approach , its not really safe as its an open link. If anyone get hold of that link - They wll have accecss to the report.

        Now if with the single  sign ( this is enabled in our organisation)  with option ADFS that authenticates them once they have logged on to the internal network , then the Embeded information witin the IFrame should appear. else no access.  somehow wif we could pass the login details within the embeded codes this might be an answer.

        This way the stakeholders are still withnin the Intranet site with all data secure as its available via theri logon credentials.

         

        Any thoughts ?

         

        Kind Regards
