Power BI Embedded - Data export

[gokarajumv]

Hi, 

We are planning on embedding power bi reports in our application. But, we are confused about a couple of things-

1. Will the end-users be able to right-click on the plot and select 'Show data point as a table' which then allows them to export the data? Will it require the dataset to be in the premium capacity or pro is enough?

2. If they are able to export it, can we control the accessibility by read-only and write only based on ADD?
3. Do the end-users need Power BI Pro licenses to access the report?

Hi @gokarajumv ,

"Will the end-users be able to right-click on the plot and select 'Show data point as a table' which then allows them to export the data?  Will it require the dataset to be in the premium capacity or pro is enough?"

1, Publish to Web

1), The end-user can still use the 'Show as a table' feature.

2), The end-user can't use the 'Export data' feature.

2 Website or portal

1), The end-user can still use the 'Show as a table' feature.

2), If the ‘Export data’ feature is not prohibited by the Power BI Service administrator and the user has a Pro license (or the report is in the premium capacity), then the user can use this feature, otherwise it cannot.

" If they are able to export it, can we control the accessibility by read-only and write only based on ADD?"

No, this will not work. If you do not want end-user to export data, please refer to the above content.

"Do the end-users need Power BI Pro licenses to access the report?"

1, Publish to Web

No, anyone can view the report.

2 Website or portal

Yes.
