    Hi OrM 

    The app users are seeing the create Report icon because they have "build" permission, either through the App or on the underlying Datasets. To remove this, Update the App to remove the entry "Allow all users to connect to the app's underlying datasets using the Build permission." in Permissions. 

    Note though that this setting will be overridden if any of the users have "Build" permission on the underlying Dataset. To check this look at the "Manage Permissions" entry on the Dataset in the App Workspace. If any of the users have "Build" permission there remove it.

    Then without "Build" permissions they will not be able to create a new report based on the data, and hence won't be able to see the tables in the Dataset.

    Hope this helps

Hi OrM 

Yes, you have probably given "Build" rights to the users on the underlying Dataset in the App Workspace.

To check this look at the "Manage Permissions" entry on the Dataset in the App Workspace. If any of the users are "Members" or "Contributors" they need to be changed to "Viewers" and if any "Viewers" have "Build" permission there remove it.

Hope this helps

Hi Burningsuit ,

 

Apparently, you are right. But the structure is a bit different. I was giving direct access

 

and seems like it grants build permission by default. While sharing the report with a link it can be avoided by basically unticking the Allow recepient to build report.

Thank you!
