Get Data

We have significant deployment of Power BI to several  thousand users where we have had to obtain specific permission to store specified data in the cloud.

 

If a user clicks on Get Data and uploads their own data into My Workspace, is the uploaded data also stored  in the cloud?

 

If Yes, can you turn off the capability of allowing users to upload their own data into their own workspace?

 

If you are wondering why this might be needed - Many users have access to data that we are not quite ready to allow in the cloud at this time

 

Thanks for all reponses

@KPH,

Yes. The uploaded data is stored in the cloud.

Currently, it is not possible to turn off the capability of allowing users to upload data into My workspace,  an idea about this issue has been submitted in this link, please vote it up.
