Re the comment of "Also passing parameters in URL for current PBIRS is not supported either. They didn’t mention any plans to add that feature any time soon", I think the product group should think about this again.

 

Imagine the scenario where we have an enterprise wide reporting system based off the MS BI Stack, and the final front end is a Power BI Report connecting to a Tabular cube hosted on Power BI Report Server.

 

Now not everyone in the organisation can see every part of the data, for example the sales force in the US cannot see the figures for the sales force in the UK and vice versa.

 

So we create a Power BI report that contains everything and by default it will open with whatever filters we had in place when we saved it to the Report Server, so what we need to do now is to over-ride those filters with the ones that are appropriate for that specific user.

 

How would we permission Power BI reporting correctly in that scenario ?

 

Thanks very much

 

Regards,

All,

 

I have just downloaded and installed the GA release of Power BI Reporting Services dated October 2017, and am not seeing a way to hide the filter pane.  Please could you confirm whether this feature made it into this release, or not, and if it did what the correct syntax for usage is ?

 

Thanks very much

    Hiding filter pane was not part of the October 2017 release. It will likely be part of a future release, we do not have a timeline to share yet. Thanks.

      Hi,

      This is "MUST" feature because with the latest version we can filter data by passing logged in user but if we show filter panel on the page then the user will get access of all the other users and data as well..

       

      THIS IS CRITICAL ..

       

      This should be taken up on priority.

       

      Thanks,

      Gourangi

        The user can easily copy the report ULR and change the filterPanelEnabled setting and then open it in browser.

        Now he can access full data.

        Access control with query string is not a good solution at all.

        Microsoft BI solution security based on AD, which can not easily works accross internet.

      I would certainly agree that hiding the filter pane and page navigation are vital features. Our users want to be able to manage and deploy power bi charts that we embed into our applications and also into PDF reports and we need to be able to hide these
