Restrict data sources

Hi there,

 

Is it possible, as administrator, to restrict the possible data sources for different user groups (for example, a connection to SAP BW only for certified report generators)

 

Thanks in advance, Bettina

hi @Anonymous 

To my knowledge, it could not achieve in power bi for now.

All these datasource connectors are built into power bi desktop, power bi desktop is just a free report development tool, you could not restrict it directly in Power BI Desktop.

Thank you! Is there also a possibility to restrict it directly in Power BI Desktop?
