Data visible on Power BI Service

[Heinrich]

Hello
When I share a Power BI Report with another user, the user can only see what it is in the report.
If I share the semantic model, what will the user see.

- only the data visible in the report

or

- the raw data also with the data not used in the report?

Thank you for your answer

Hello @Heinrich 

When you share a semantic model, the recipient has access to all the data in that model, not just the data or fields shown in any particular report visual. Unless row-level security or object-level security is applied, the entire dataset is exposed when someone opens the model for exploration or connects via features like “Analyze in Excel” . They can create new visuals and potentially see columns, tables, or measures that were not used in the original report. If you need to restrict access to certain rows, columns, or tables, you must define security rules in the model accordingly.

Hope this helps.
