End user Power BI Report clean view without menus and tools

[yatinpurohit]

Users always sign in to app.bowerbi.com or click the shared link. The issue with that is the baggage of full Power BI navigation and menu. Till I discovered this -

File -> Publish to Web -> Link you can send in Email

Copy this link and you can use it in, say a SharePoint page or any webpage as link go to that URL. 

What this does is, shows only the report full screen without any other Power BI header or interface. This is kind of clean and focussed for an end user without any complicated menus and interface.

Thought this might help others who may have missed this before (like me).

@yatinpurohit I hope this is public data you are using... This is a reminder I make all the time, this feature should not be used with company data, it is not secure, and you are generating a URL that is accessible to anyone on the internet. Please see the giant red box warning on the documentation for this feature here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web

Thanks. Did not realize this point. Now I get that it is not secured by login. However, is it safe to assume that only persons with the URL can see this? Also, once I have generated the URL, can I lock it in any way (It is currently not available in public domain).

Hi @yatinpurohit,

You can manage the embed codes in the settings. You also can disable this feature.

Note: every App workspace has its own list of embed codes.

Best Regards,
