Cant disable Copy visual option

[vamshikrishna20]

Hi Everyone, 

I have a line chart in my report for which i dont want to show the option of copy visual to user . I tried checking in visual header , but i cant see any option to disable copy visual . I even unticked the modern visual header option from report settings, even though it is still showing the copy visual option.

Can someone help me to remove this option for user .

Thanks in Advance

Hi @vamshikrishna20 ,

Check the document about how to disable this option for both Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste#disable-copy-as-... 

And in Power BI Desktop, you are in development mode. So, even if you disable the copy visual option or the visual header, as a developer, you can still see the visual header. But for end users, they no longer see this option.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/hide-visual-header#limitations 

Limitations

• You can only control the visibility of visual headers if the report that you embed is in view mode.
• You can only hide or show a visual's entire header. You can't configure the visibility of specific items in the header menu.
• When you use a selector to specify a visual's name or type, use the Page getVisuals method to obtain the visual's name, which is a unique identifier. Don't configure the selector with the visual's title.
• If a user saves a report that you embed with the API, the visual settings that you defined will be saved to the report. You can avoid this situation by configuring the report with a permission level of View instead of Edit or Save.

Best Regards,

Jay

@vamshikrishna20 , Under Power bi Service Tenant setting - export setting, you can disable copy paste visual
