Hi there,
Read only users will not see any tables. And to be realistic the users will always see the summerized data which is shown in the visuals

Hi,
It looks like the app users are able to click on the app contents button and see the datasets, from there they can run quick insights or (if they are a pro user) can use the analyse in Excel function to download the data. I have a feeling there are probably other ways for them to get to the data as well.
The only way I can see to secure data is to pre-aggregate (which seems to be confirmed in a related thread I started here)
IT would be great if there was a way to tick a box and secure all underlying data on a report by report basis but Power BI doesn't seem to have been built that way.
