Hide reports or pages to users
Apologies that was bit of a rubbish explanation
When you deploy/save a PBIX form PBI Desktop you get to browse the folders on your PBI-ReportServer.
You can create folders on your PBI-ReportServer using the web front end. Usually http:\\yourservername\Reports\
You could create a folder called MyReportSubjectArea and then inside that folder create another folder called MyReportSubjectAreaSuperUsers. You can set security at folder level so restrict the MyReportSubjectArea folder to your main users and MyReportSubjectAreaSuperUsers to the more restricted set o users (we use AD groups to do this as it's way easier to add people to AD groups than adding and removing individual users via the SSRS web front end. (SSRS is the underlying server tech for PBI-ReportServer)
If you don't have any permissions on a folder you don't see it and can't access the contents even if someone sends you a link.
This page is about configuring SSRS security
Yeah. I think you need a separate report. In a separate folder in SSRS with its own security group/restrictions. This is just simpler to manage, though you may well need to copy logic across the reports...
Hi Anonymous and thanks for your answe.
Sorry I still don't understand what SSRS is. For what I know, you mean I need to create in PBIRS a separate folder with the special report? And there you tell me I can set security restrictions? What would my common users see? They see the folder but can't open it? Or what else?
Thank you very much
Nick
