Fred has access to a SQL database table containing sensitive data.
Fred uses Power BI desktop with import mode to produce a report and then publishes it to Power Bi services workspace where he controls who can and can’t access the workspace.
Fred then saves the Power BI desk PBIX file on a shared network drive.
Question:-
If another user opens the PBIX file with Power BI desktop, what will they see?
Will they see the data Fred imported and save in the PBIX, even if they don’t have access to the SQL database?
Clearly if Fred had used direct query the answer would be no, because no data is saved in the PBIX and the new user does not have the security credentials to access the SQL table.
But how secure is imported data saved in the PBIX on a network drive? Does Power BI Desktop check the new user has security credentials to view the data already loaded?
Where is this documented please, I can’t find it?
