Disable export in Power BI Embeded
Does anyone know if there is any way that export can be disabled with Power BI Embeded. For the service export and analyse in Excel can be turned off at the tenement level which is a very blunt way of doing things. However, I have not been able to establish if there is any way to be able to turn it off for embeded. We are about to launch a dashboard to excternal users and letting the download data from the lisuals is more ability than we want them to be able to have as this would allow them to get to data such as the lat / long data that we have put a lot of effort into establishing. If we are not able to disable export we may have to look to use the service for external users rather than embeded which would be our preference.

- Thank you v-chuncz-msft. That was what I concluded as well. Publish to web is not an option though given the data is confidential. Hopefully Microsoft will add this functionality soon. For now we have had to abandon using Embedded and use the service with export and Analyse in Excel turned off. This is a pitty as I can see lots of potent for Analyse in Excel for internal users. Please vote for the idea to be able to turn off export in the Ideas forum.
UNfortunatley it would seem that SamH is correct and there is no way to be able to do this presently. For our use we are not prepared to make it that easy for external users to download our data. Particuarly as this would enable them to download data for latitude and longitudes from maps. Hopefully Microssoft will change this soon. To assist with this change please vote for this idea - https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16633324-disable-export-data-function-in-power-bi-embeded
