    No this is not possible to do for any profile/role. If this is important to you then you should make your end users Viewers, not Members. Then the will not have access to the Power Query code. If you want you can also add build rights to the datasets so that those users can create their own reports from those datasets. As a best practice you should give users the minimum rights they need to get their jobs done.
