Page-Level Audience Visibility in Power BI Apps

[amandarizzato]

In Power BI, we can publish PowerBI files into a Workspace & configure Audiences through a Power BI App.

Each Audience can be granted access to specific Power BI files within the App, by clicking the eye icon to show/hide the Power BI file for that Audience.

However, there is currently a limitation:

• Access can only be controlled at the Power BI file level, not at the report view-page level within a power BI file.
• For example, an Audience can be granted access to a Power BI file within the App, but once access is provided, the user is able to view all report view-pages within that Power BI file.
• There is currently no capability to restrict visibility so that an Audience can only view specific report view-pages while other report view-pages remain hidden.

The functionality that we are requesting would allow the ability to configure report view-page level visibility within a Power BI file within the PowerBI App. This enables different Audiences to see only the report view-pages relevant to them. This  solution would mean:

• There is only 1 Power BI file to maintain/refresh/publish/governance/etc.
• We have the ability to easily click the eye-icon next to each report view-page in the App, to show/hide it from each Audience.
• This reduces the risk of breaching privacy laws/people seeing data they aren't meant to.
• Reduces risk of version inconsistencies and reporting errors accross all versions.

Currently, the only practical workaround is to create multiple (ie x10: to have 1 per audience, as I have 10 audiences) duplicated Power BI files, each containing only the report view-pages relevant to a specific Audience. This approach introduces several significant challenges, including:

• Increased maintenance effort, as report changes must be replicated across multiple reports.
• Additional administrative overhead for maintenance, refresh, publishing and governance.
• Higher risk of version inconsistencies and reporting errors accross each duplicated version.
