Hide filters for shared Reports or prevent user from changing filters.

In a shared report the user can see and manipulate filters. How about an option to hide the filter options and so make change of filters (to probably see more data) impossible?

X-Linking to a similar idea Hide or show the filter fly-out panel on embedded reports with an API switch or URL parameter https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/12355407-hide-or-show-the-filter-fly-out-panel-on-embedded

In some cases we want to remove certain cases from the data (e.g. deleted = false) that can't be overridden (and perhaps isn't even visible to the user) but also have the ability to reduce the set e.g. everything but "unknown", but allow the user to reduce this further. As it is already possible to add the same attribute to a filter pool (e.g. report level filters) more than once, all that is needed is a way to allow a report designer to indicate that a particular filter item is not visible and/or changeable (perhaps both options visible and changeable would be useful). This way I think it elegantly solves all the problems

There are so many use cases where data in a model requires filtering in specific report in order for the end user to see the correct or relevant information. More often than not, they don't know or won't know the purpose and there is no reason for them to see or be able to remove a filter. If exposure is of value to understand context, I get that, but to introduce the "feature" of allowing them to remove the filter makes little sense to any scenario I've come across. If I want them to play with context, I'll add a slicer.

Come on Microsoft! Easily the most important feature for Power BI to have at this point.

Incase you are using powerbi.js with your app, open it and set filterPaneEnabled to false. Search for the snippet below: Embed.defaultOptions = { //filterPaneEnabled: true filterPaneEnabled: false }; This works for me perfectly.

Yep, another user here looking to lock-this down. By allowing filters, you're allowing users to change the data and confuse the story you;re trying to tell. This should be an option on sharing a dashboard.

Has any work been done on this? As some of the comments have stated, it can be very important that BI Service users can't change the report via the filter pane. There needs to be a way to lock / disable / hide the filter pane.

Sometimes I want to pre-filter a report and then hide that specific filter. It's fine if they use other filters, but the ability to hide individual filters would be nice

We defiantly need the option to hide this "Filter" panel from reports. Currently using the Power BI Technical Preview under SSAS on premise and have no easy way to hide this to create pages similar to dashboards On-Premise.
