Stop Users from downloading PBIX file

Hi all,

 

I have a Power BI app where all my reports are published. Though I want users to be able to export data, I do not want them to download pbix files. Is there any way I can disable that?

 

Thanks,

HV

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please check if this is what you want:

You can keep "Allow users to make a copy of the reports in this app" being unselected when you publish the app.

Then the users can only export data of visuals but can't make a copy of your report. In other words, the users cannot download your reports.
