Removing "SHARE" icon/feature on PowerBI embed report

Hi all!!

 

I am not a developer, but I believe I need pro help from developer to see if what I want to do is even possible:

 

I want to remove the SHARE functionality that appears at the right botton corner of every Report you Share on PowerBI.com.

 

Maybe there are parameters that I can include on the end of HTML code, like the frameborder="0" or  allowFullScreen="true".

 

Is there a "allowSharing=False" available?

 

Is there any "workaround" to remove the users hability to share that panel/report?

 

Thanks for any help!!!

I think you're talking about embedding a report "published to web", right?

 

Well, actually typically "embedding" scenarios in Power BI are using Power BI Embedded and Power BI REST API, which provides more security. In my opinion, when "published to web", it is encouraged to share, that's why I think there's a share button. 

AFAIK, there's no way to disable that share button, you can check this idea Remove SHARE ITEM and vote it up. As a workaround, maybe use Power BI Embedded, though it is not a friendly way to non-developers.

 

Thank you very much for your reply!

 

We have no development background here, so using those advanced features like Rest API is out of question.

 

I was hoping others had the same "problem", so maybe there was a workaround to this, as I was able to remove the button from the code edditing it, but it would no "save" the new editting, and reload everything again from the server later.

 

Theres another IDEA about the same stuff:
