Down for Maintenance Message?

Is there a way to temporarily remove user access or pull down a Power BI report if it needs maintance or there is a data issue? Is there some sort of work around for this if the feature does not exisit? We are hoping to find a way to keep people from accessing a report if the data is not correct. We could remove the access, but adding the access back would be cumbersome since people are individually added to reports.

 

Thank you!

hi, @Anonymous 

You may try to use Row-level security (RLS) in a report.
here is some reference:

http://radacad.com/dynamic-row-level-security-with-manager-level-access-in-power-bi

For example:

People could access report but couldn't see any data

Hey @v-lili6-msft,

 

Thank you for your suggestions, but I believe this process would be extremely cumbersome as well given the number of users and reports to which the RLS would need to be applied. 

 

Thank you!
