How to share reports with customers?

[jaryszek]

I have the way of including local sources using network virtual machines (for my company developers usage) and cloud connection to azure blob storage (to be used by customers). 

But when I will be uploading report into customer tenant, how to get rid of local sources which are my company sources? 

What is the best practice for it? I want to keep refreshing report uzing azure blob storage but I do not want to give them access to my local sources (like using parameter "local" to get to network virtual machine where my local files are located in). 

Best,
Jacek

Hi @jaryszek   ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

Use Power BI/Fabric deployment pipelines or distinct workspaces to promote the clean PBIX file without internal sources. You can maintain separate PBIX files or pipelines, keeping local connections only in the dev version while deploying a clean version (using Azure Blob) to your customers

Please go through the below documentation link.

Hi  @jaryszek  ,

I would also take a moment to thank @Mauro89 , for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference. 
Yes, as mentioned, you can definitely automate this using Azure DevOps pipelines. You can set up automation for publishing reports, managing parameters, and deploying across workspaces or even tenants using Power BI REST APIs.

If you prefer built-in, Power BI Deployment Pipelines also support semi-automated promotion across environments (Dev → Test → Prod).

Thankyou.

Hi @jaryszek,

regarding the previous comment. Yes you can automate it by using Azure DevOps pipeline for deployments.
