Disable Data Refresh by Users.

Hello,

I wish to publish a report that only refreshes on the scheduled time that I set it to. I do not want the other viewers to be able refresh the data set. How can this be achieved?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

You can find the dataset for that report in the power bi service, click on Manage permissions.

Enter the Dateset interface and give the user only the Read permission.
