View Only on PowerBI Desktop

Hi. 

 

How can I have users, using PowerBI desktop, to "view-only" the dashboard, when they open my file on their PBI Desktop?

 

I dont want users to have access to the tables, the connections between tables, the filters, and the different panes / ribbons.

 

Thank you for you help.

    JMSNYC it is not possible with powerbi desktop, you have to publish the report to powerbi.com and share it from there.

      Thank you for your answer Parry2K.

       

      Now my question to you is: how do i let people access the dashboard without being able to modify the parameters: 

       

      • Get a PowerBI Premium license?
      • Publish the dashboard on my client's SharePoint? Simpler option?

      What does it require to post the PowerBI dashboard on my client's SharePoint ? Never did that.

       

      Any guidance is strongly appreciated.
