Feature Request
Allow report owners or admins to disable PDF/PowerPoint export at the individual report level, rather than only at the tenant or security group level.
Problem
A customer has Power BI reports containing confidential training materials that should not be exported as PDF/PPT to prevent data leakage (especially after employee offboarding). However, their other data analytics reports still need export functionality.
Today, the "Export reports as PowerPoint presentations or PDF documents" tenant setting is all-or-nothing — it applies to all reports for a given security group. There is no per-report granularity.
Alternatives like Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels or Power BI Embedded are not feasible for this customer due to licensing and organizational policy constraints.
Proposed Solution
Add an option under Report Settings → Export (similar to the existing "Export data" control for Excel/CSV):
- Allow export as PDF/PowerPoint (default)
- Don't allow export as PDF/PowerPoint for this report
Optionally, support restricting export to specific security groups per report.
Impact
This would help organizations that handle mixed-sensitivity content across reports and need granular export control without additional licensing.
