Protect advanced data editor

Hi all,

 

is it possible to prevent user to use advanced editor on a power bi desktop data model?

 

I have to share my model and users have to create mesures, columns and whatever they want. But i have to be sure that they don't modify the loading SQL script under advanced editor on each table.

 

It's like a protection on what a user can see or modify. Is it possible?

 

Regards,

Francesco

    I think no. Only Live COnnection mode.

    Imported data will be available for any user who open the file

    You can create a dataflow they connect to.  Or, if that is not an option, you can save the result of your SQL query in a separate file first, and then connect to that.

     

    If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

      Hi,

       

      thanks to all but that's not what i want....

       

      i have to lock some table import so that user can't modify it. I Think it's not possible now.
