Approach to Sharing Dashboards

Hi,   I cant help but think the current approach to sharing dashboards is overly restrictive for larger organisations. I have been applying the methods of sharing as found here:   https://powerbi...

Hi, The post you recommend seems to be mainly focussed on sharing dashboards via sharepoint. My post is more about sharing view only dashboards with more flexibility, and some security, via the www independent of the applications you run or the organisation who holds the Power BI licence. Making the process more open and easier is the best way to advertise the product as well as encourage its use in large organisations imho

Hi,

 

Just curious, I would have thought this would have been a hot topic but it generated zero interest :) So I am wondering is this because:

 

a) Nobody else has an issue with the current functionality

b) Issue was not explained well enough

c) Many people have raised the issue but there is resistance/apathy to change

 

Answers in an email please

    As I understand your post I completely agree.  The current sharing as you point out covers 2 scenarios: very controlled to a single email domain or wide open to an unsecured URL.

     

    I believe what you propose is a middle ground which is a URL secured by an email address that is domain independent.

     

    I think that would be a great idea and agree it would definitely help spread the Power BI solution.  The existing 2 remain fine and valid - I do not see this recommended approach needing to undo what is there now.

     

    No idea as to how one navigates an idea thru the development team however.....
