I am working with a dashboard in Power BI service, that pulls in two tiles that originate in separate reports. I am also the developer of the underlying reports in Power BI Desktop.
1) Tile 1 comes from an organization-wide report consisting of multiple pages, some with sensitive information.
2) Tile 2 comes from a more granular, focused report for which row-level security has been successfully activated to enable each stakeholder accesss to their respectice data only.
When I build the dashboard consisting of these two tiles, do I have the ability to limit an individual user's access in regard to 1) so that they cannot click into the underlying report and navigate to the other pages in that report? Ideally, I want the user only to be able to see the underlying report page linked to the dashboard tile. If I could even remove that navigability between dashboard and underlying report, that would work just as well.
What's the business value? Making your users mad when their clicks result in error messages?
The business value is creating a dashboard consisting of tiles from two different reports (one of the functions Power BI was made for) - so that I don't need to duplicate efffort by creating an entire another report.
The purpose of dashboards is not to avoid report usage. It is to provide a portal into the underlying reports.
