Enabling Export Data (.csv) for Specific Users and Reports in Power BI Service

Hi,

I wanted to know if it’s possible to enable the ‘export data (.csv)’ functionality only for specific users and specific reports.

To simplify, let’s assume we have 4 users (User1, User2, User3, and User4) and 3 reports (ReportA, ReportB, and ReportC):

  • User1 and User2 should not be able to export data from any report.
  • User3 should be able to export data from ReportA but not from ReportB or ReportC.
  • User4 should be able to export data from ReportB but not from ReportA or ReportC.
  • Nobody should be able to export data from ReportC.

Is this level of granularity possible in Power BI Service?

No, it is not. If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/?forum=2d80fd4a-16cb-4189-896b-e0dac5e08b41

 

Obligatory note: The only way to prevent users from exporting data from your report is to not give them access to your report.
