Hi edhans. Similar question...we want to expose a bunch of dataflows so users can pull data out of our EDW without having to connect directly to the EDW. Tried your suggestion of creating an app, but can only add reports and dashboards to an app.
Was hoping you could point me to some documentation/guidance on how to secure dataflows. Thanks!
