Publish to web SQL data security/access

Hello,

 

If I publish to web will users of a dashboard have access to any data other than what is being visualized? For example, I have a dashboard querying data from a large SQL Server table with 100 fields/columns, but I'm only visualizing 5 of the fields. If I publish said dashboard to the web, will users somehow have access to the other 95 fields/columns from the underlying table from which the data is being pulled?

 

Thanks for any help.

    Anonymous Publish to web is not the right approach to sharing the reports. It is not secure and who ever get the link will have access to the reports/data. You should not be exploring this approach at all.

      Hi Parry,

       

      I understand that people will have access to the data being visualized - I'm fine with that. But are you saying people would have access to the data not being visualized? E.g., they could somehow access the secure SQL database from which the visuals are pulling and query additional data? That seems very unlikely.
