restrict access to company accounts

Is there a way in Power BI Pro desktop to restrict someone at company A from signing into an account for company B and posting reports/data using company A data to the Power BI service for company B?

Potentially, yes. The issue would be how you would recognize that person as not being from Company B. The general answer is that you would use ADFS or Netscaler's or other conditional based access to, for example, only allow logging into the Office 365 account from a specific network.

The concern is that they would be on the network for company A, but able to connect to the Power BI cloud/service for company B and load data from company A. Could company A restrict connection to the Power BI cloud/service for company B?

Hi,

 

I'm not sure I understand but there are several things you can do;

 

  • In power bi online, provide only view not editing for that e-mail address 
  • Define roles for restricting the data, use manage roles in power bi desktop. Then use "row level security".

Hope that helps!
