    Hi,

     

    This requirements is currently not on the roadmap. Most users that need higher security measures use either Intune MDM or MAM with the app or use Conditional Access to limit access to Power BI from corporate network.

     

    Thanks,

Hi AFo,

 

>>Having the mobile app encrypt cached data on a device

Current power bi mobile not has this feature, perhaps you can post this requirement to ideas forum.

 

>>Introduce the ability to limit users from using the mobile app, either completely (on \ off switch per user), or limit to known devices?

For your requirement, you can refer to below links which about phone authentication:

Get started with Azure Active Directory device registration

Microsoft IT phone authentication

      Thank you, I will look into conditional access via Azure AD.

    Can you confirm that this is still the case today?

      Hey carlosjr56, Yes, this is still the case. Do you find this as a blocker with using Power BI Mobile? Maya

        Hi Mshenhav,
        Yes in our case its going to be hard. We are a non-profit agency facing budget cuts and need to comply with Hippa/hitech. We also have 1200 employees (many of them part time) which cause anything we buy to be expensive. I know that an MDM solution would help encrypt or block, but any application per user x1200 users per month, totals a lot of money that we don't have.
