Hi,
I'm hoping someone can provide some clarity on this. I've created a dashboard that feeds off a data extract from my live SQL database. The data is dumped into an excel file and my dashboard reads from the file. I want to post my dashboard to our sharepoint site and I've found tutorials on how to do this but one constant issue discussed on all forums is the fact that your data is available to the public once you post to the web. My question is this, if I signed up for the Power BI Pro subscription and my users also create subscriptions, does this prevent our data from being public? My goal is to create my dashboards and post it to our sharepoint site for my users to access. Please let me know. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Pro doesn't prevent Publish to Web reports from becoming public. Official support for embedding in Sharepoint (without making data public) is currently in progress. See and vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6740156-embed-in-sharepoint-offic...
