Disable Analyze in excel at dataset or report level

Hi,

 

Although we are able to disable Analyze in excel at tenat level, it does not help. Beacause sometimes it useful to have it available for certain workspaces/reports/dataset over others.

 

Is it possible to allows owners of the workspace to turn off analyze in excel at Dataset or Report level?

 

Kind regards,

Abs

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could assign the users as Viewer role, then they could not use Analyze in Excel feature neither on Dataset level nor Report level.

HI @Anonymous ,

 

I don't have time to test it right now, but I believe that if you turn it off for an individual report, you do so by going to the setting and selecting "None" for the Export Data type.

Hi @collinq 

 

I am afraid, that is a solution for completely different issue. Here the concern is that with Analyze in excel enabled by default for all reports - it allows users to see the whole underlying dataset, which defeats the purpose, when we just want users to only be able to export what they can see on the report.
