Way to turn off Export-Data for a specific Visual, or combination of User and Visual?

Is there a way to turn off Export-Data for a specific Visual, or combination of Visual and User?

 

i.e. "Everything is fine - but turn off data export for this 1 visual here. Or limit export on that 1 visual, to users in Group X"

 

I think no, especially as limiting 'export data' isn't meant to be a security feature. But just checking.

 

I believe the only options are:

  • Limit access to particular rows, via Row Level Security
  • Limit access to particular columns (or entire tables) via Object Level Security
  • Limit which rows can be exported from a visual, via Sensitivity Labels
  • Turn off Data export entirely across a report, for everyone
  • Turn off Data export across the entire tenant, for certain Security Groups (or turn off for everyone, enabled for certain Security Groups).

But not at all my area of expertise...

you can turn off the "visual header" on the Visual you don't want people to be able to export data from, that's what I do on occasion
