Hello,
I know how to embed a report on a public website. However, is there any way to protect the original datasert that you made the visuals from? I have data that contains the Names of inmates. I have deleted the columns in power query but from what I have read once the report is embedded in a public website it can be downloaded and opened. Is there a way to protect this specific information from the publics eyes?

Hi @Anonymous ,
Unfortunately, the publicwebsites does not support to change anything except the size. It always warning you the data security when you create embed code. End user can always print the report page if he uses "ctrl"+"p".
Please replace the sensitive data with fake data.
