Disable Show data menu option in visual header

It is possible to disable the Export data menu option in the visual header via properties of the Report server in SSMS. I want to do the same for the "Show data" menu option. Doable? Any ideas?

Hi NichlasSeeger,

 

You can disable "Show data" menu option by updating powerbi desktop version to December 2018. then goto File -> Optios and Settings -> Options -> Report Settings then choose "Don't allow end users" option in export data section.
