Add a password protected Power BI Desktop option

if we can lock a desktop made dashboard it will be great to share it in an enterprise. also this will prevent the dashboard to be changed by mistake. when I click on an item this action drag the content, so I have to move it back to the initial position.

Password protecting a Power Desktop BI file (just like we can protect an Excel file) would be a great feature.

This would be a great feature and I would take it one step further which would be to allow the protection of the data model in isolation of the report. This would allow a shared model to be protected and users be unable to make bad model descions while still being able to interact with reports.

Has this been implemented yet? I need the option to be able to password protect my files similar to excel. Having a password to edit, but a "READ ONLY" open to open and view would be extremely helpful to those who want to get into a file and learn how it was constructed.

Any word on this feature? A simple password to access a desktop PBIX file would be a great feature. Encryption of the file would be perfect!
