refresh POWER BI desktop without giving access to designer fields

[Anonymous]

Hello dear gurus,

I have an issue:

I built a set of dashoboards that needed to be refreshed everyday. Users have only PBI desktop in my organization and I don't like to access them to the developer environment that I built dashboards in PBI desktop. Is there a way that without  letting them open the dashboards in PBI desktop the dashboards get refreshed every morning and they just see the final report after refresh?

P.s. I don't want to take the responsibiliity of these refreshes everyday!

Hi @Anonymous ,

We can't do that in PowerBI desktop because PowerBI desktop is just a design tool rather than a sharing tool, we cna publish the report to PowerBI service, then share the dashboard to the users, PowerBI Service can use Gateway to refresh data.

Best Regards,

Hi @TeigeGao ,

When you say Publish to service, it means it goes out of my premises, which is highly restricted by my security team! What is the solution in this situation?

I can't accept PBI with all the efforts that MS is devoting to it is not available for highly secured orgs!

Thanks
