Chasing a workaround on "Embedded reports loses Export Data function"

Hi
We have a number of Power BI reports embedded on our website.
When you embed reports, you lose the Export Data functionality.

We have a number of customers who "demand" this function.

Therefore, I am chasing a workaround on this limitation.
Is there anyone out there who has a solution or has tried to make something work? If so, I would really like to hear from you.

Thanks in advance

Hi @M-M-P ,

 

About turning the export data option on or off. You can find the option in the Tenant settings under Admin portal.

To my knowledge, it is not able to export data from the report for those users after you publish the report to web, this behavior is by design in Power BI. If you concern this behavior, I recommend you submit idea on the Power BI Idea forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas.

I just found this on ideas.powerbi.com

"Disable Export data function in Power BI Embeded"

Link to the idea 

If export data can now be turned off, then it must be possible to turn it on again, right?

 

My Expoter data buttons look like this
