Disable Set Alert icon setting

I want to prevent end users of my reports from using the "Set Alert" (or "Add Alerts") icon. I have administrative rights (portal settings)  but can't find the right setting. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey @Wjadri,

Steps to Disable Visualization Alerts:

  • Select the visual - Choose the specific visualization where you want to disable the alert
  • Go to the visualization pane - Access the visualization settings panel
  • Navigate to header icons - Locate the header icons section within the pane
  • Find the alert toggle button - Identify the toggle control for alerts
  • Turn off the toggle - Switch the toggle from "On" to "Off" position

This is correct - however this is only available to disable on Power BI in a web browser - not in the desktop - terrible! So I have to publish each report, then go to the report and edit them to remove these alert icons! This should be a workspace or company setting to disable! 

Many thanks for your quick answer! 

Really appreciate your feedback!

Always happy to help.
