restrict access to the Power Query Advanced Editor

Hello, I'm working on a dataset with a column containing the names of several organizations. The idea is to build a global dashboard and give access to each association to consult only its data. There are graphs showing the results of all the organizations at the same time, but I have anonymized so that one organization cannot recognize the data of the other.

From (Modeling then Manage Roles then View As), I can give access to each organization to view only its data. The problem is that if an organization imports the report from power bi service and opens it on its PC computer (locally), it will be able to have access to the advanced editor and see how I have anonymized the data and therefore will be able to have access to all data. how to restrict access to the advanced editor or if there are other solutions, thank you for sharing them with me.

Hi, @gerard-kouadio ;

If you set up RLS, each user can only view the corresponding report information, and they cannot edit the report and dataset. If the dataset can be downloaded, RLS is not working. Contrary to the purpose of setting up RLS. In short, if RLS cannot view the information of the dataset, it cannot view the Power Query Advanced Editor. (unless you are an administrator or have editing premiss)
