Power BI Desktop Configuration

Is there anyway to configure Power BI Desktop to not allow signing into a Power BI account (Group Policy, registry entry, etc.)?

 

Thank you.

Hi PonchpHpbono,

 

We could remove the Power BI (Pro or free) license under O365 admin Portal to disable Power BI sign in.

Also there are PowerShell commands available to disable users from signing up with Power BI, more information, please check:

Administering Power BI in your organization

 

In addition to the steps mentioned above, currently there is no further methods to disable Power BI sign-in options.

We could submit this as an idea in the website below:

Hope this should be added in the future update of Power BI.

 

Regards
