Get data from Power BI service error - Could it be Export Data option?

Hi,

 

I am managing a large number of users, and I want them to be able to utilise existing datasets that have been published to the Power BI Service / Get data from Power BI Service. 

 

This was working, but we recently decided to turn off the ability for users to export data to Excel - for data security reasons. I think this has stopped us being able to use Power BI Service data sets as data sources - could this be the case?

 

Thanks,

 

Anne
