Encrypt .PBIX file
@Eno197 My client is Financial organization , they need the file to be encrypted.
The idea is to share the file with the Internal Users,so that they can open the PBIX file in their secure environment and publish through Desktop.
During the process of sharing the PBIX file , they need to put some security on PBIX file
I was trying to automate deployment process , where the PBIX file get published through powershell Script, but this is not working for me. Hence we thought if we can Encrypt the PBIX file and then share internally. Any suggestion Thanks
Anonymous Sorry, I don't have any suggestions. From my understanding the Desktop is designed as the development tool, not the consumption tool. (Thus, why it's free).
In deployments I've done for financial institutions we've always leveraged Tabular models with live connection to handle these security concerns. I believe internal deployments are going to be shared via SQL 2016 SSRS, but currently it only accepts PBIX files to be loaded.
