Duplicate semantic models for seperate uses.

[Anonymous]

Hi Community! 

i am facing a challenge where I am trying to have a semantic model, be dupliacated or made to be a one way connection so that users can use the data as much as they want but without the risk of the semantic model being spiked.

Hello @Anonymous ,

the possible thing you can do that is close to this but the users can't change in the data is connect to a shared semantic model.

check it out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-report-lifecycle-datasets

Is there any way of changing DirectQuery to Import mode connection when consuming semantic models? Is there any workaround to achieve this?
