Report security
When sharing a report you can turn off recipients ability to share a report.
Then just make sure to only share the report with the people that should have access. That way, even if someone emails the link to a user with no access, the 2nd user will not be able to see the report because it has not been shared with them.
Thanks can we not indiviualize it, like USER A can share the report and USER C cannot , something like that. Also accidents can happen with auto prompt when you try to share using power bi service.
I want to Avoid the following scenarios.
1) I gives access to a super user to READ and SHARE , the user accidentally shares with John Smith , instead of Joe Smith. As a developer how can i restrict John Smith to NOT A RECIPIENT at all.
2) Secondly when the super user shares via email and forgets to UNCHECK the box and the reciepient of that email shares with some one else ? I want to avoid that as well.
Thanks
You can, yes. If you click on Share Report then go to the access tab you can see what access users have and if you click on the ellipsis you can pick read or read and reshare.
Thanks Jdbuchanan,
I already looked into it, here is the scenario.
I create a report and share it with the higher management team (Manager) and they in turn share with the area managers. The issue is the Top level managers do not want to do the extra step of unchecking the relevant boxes, They hjust want to share and get one with it.
