Hidden Fields are visible

[Anonymous]

We have multiple dataset hosted in Premium capacity to support Self-Service.

Subset of the dataset fields are hidden to avoid users data access as they must be protected

When connecting using Power BI Desktop to the dataset, users with dataset Build permissions  can "view hidden" fields

I have seen this was fixed back in 2021.

Logic dictates when developer hidde the fields and publish the dataset, they must remain hidden

Is this an issue with a Power BI dataset  or not?

2. What is your connection mode?
3. Is the file opened after downloading the pbix file used by a user who has editing rights to the dataset?
4. the PBI Service and Desktop version you are using?

Best regards.

Hi Team,

Is there any update on this issue or still under investigation?

I looks like this is a feature, not a bug, as mentioned in the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-permissions.
