Privacy Levels Consequences?
Hi lo_p_ez,
Firstly, privacy levels in Power BI Desktop control that which data sources are allowed to be combined with other data sources during query evaluation, for example, when you use Query Parameters feature in Desktop.
Data from public data sources can be passed to any other data source; data from organizational data sources can be passed to other organizational data sources, but not public data sources; and data from private data sources cannot be shared with any other data source, including other private data sources.
Secondly, you can check the data source via File > Options and settings > Data source settings, if you import the tables into Power BI Desktop using Get data option at a time, there is an single data source. If you import the tables separately using Get data option, there are multiple data sources.
For more details about privacy levels in Power BI Desktop, you can review Chapter 6 in this similar article.
Thirdly, it will not expose your published reports, dashboards or any part of Power BI to any other entity. For more details, please review this article.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
