    Hi ChristopheJ,

     

    Yes, I think Power BI Desktop is an "industrial" solution. But every organization has its own special request. To explain more clear, we can compare the PBI Desktop with the Office Excel. The Power BI Desktop, only the Power BI Desktop App, is quite similar to Excel while the Desktop focuses on the data analysis. The one who has the pbix file has the full Edit permission. Then you have to keep the file safe and restrict the accesses in the data source.

     

    Best Regards,

    Dale
