App audience's access rights

[Gandhia]

Hi, 

I have an app, and there is some audience added. Does they (audience) have access to and view of the filters? 

If yes, and if I would hide filters in PBI Desktop, they won't see and use filters, is this right solution?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for quick response! And when I have done it in desktop, need publish again to dev --> deploy to test --> deploy to prod --> update app, right? 🙂

If that's your process, then yes

Thank you so much! And the very last questions: Hiding filters doesn't effect to their functionality?

And in other words, the Audience of the application is "only-viewers", because if they can edit app, they can also see the filters although those are hidden. Am I right?

Thank you for your time and helping me. I really appreciate it!!

It won't change their functionality, The end user just won't be able to see them. I personally hide them as it will reduce the user from asking questions about why the data is wrong, because they misclicked something

Hi @Gandhia 

They will will be able to see the filtre pane unless you hide it in Desktop, you will need to repeat this for all tabs in the report.

Thanks
