exclude other employees from creating content
janiek95 What is the reasoning of why individuals shouldn't be able to create their own reports?
How large is your organization? Is Premium an option? That license model would allow for free users to read/consume and not have the ability to share.
Anonymous We are implementing Power BI to simplefy the processes, when employees have the opportunity to create their own dashboards(and they will try), they can waste their valuable time.
The organization has around 600 employees, but most of them works in the warehouses. We are testing Power BI on a small part of the organization, with only 3 key users at the moment.
I guess that the use of Power BI Premium wont give us enough efficiency at the moment.
janiek95 There really isn't a way for you to disable the use of Power BI for end users. I'm not trying to argue, but the reason business users do things on their own is typically due to bottlenecks in IT. So if they need the answers a report will give them... it's not really wasted time.
Streamlining how they do things, providing datasets that can be used, and supporting those efforts would minimize "wasted" time. Then IT can focus on the company level reporting, the models to support business, and training if needed.
I come from the Enterprise side of things, and every company is different, but Power BI shines the best when you enable your business users, not try to lock them out of an awesome tool that can give them valueable insights.
my 2 cents.
