Is it possible to lock the page filter and only allow a slicer?

Hello,

I am asking myself if it is possible to define a page filter for a specific column and to make sure that it cannot be changed. A slicer only showing the allowed selections/values of the specific column should be the only possibility to filter. By using the page filter, there is the risk that "forbidden" values are included in visualizations and especially measures, which is why I am trying to avoid the user from getting wrong results when (accidentally) using the page filter.

Any hints and suggestions will be appreciated!

Well Desktop is the development tool - so if you share the pbix file with others using Desktop there's no locking.

 

Once you send things up to Service then there is less design ability by users.
