Whitelisted custom visuals

Hi,

is it possible to allow users of Power BI report server to use only certain, white-listed custom visuals? Or at least only certified custom visuals?

If user includes other custom visual, I'd expected an error when he/she tries to upload such report to the server.

Is it possible to achieve this?

Thanks,

Petr

All custom visuals can work as they can be loaded directly into desktop and published. However, we only officially support visuals offered through the store. There is an admin switch to disable all custom visuals on the report server, however there is no option to specifically whitelist specific ones.

Thanks for answer. I'm afraid this makes the custom visuals feature unusable for our purpose, because of security risks.

If our users can upload reports with custom visuals they got from anywhere from the Internet, then we will definitely turn this option off.  

Or am I missing something? Smiley Frustrated
