Hi @dinesh123 ,
Report owners can classify and label reports using sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview Information Protection. If the sensitivity label has protection settings, Power BI will apply these protection settings when exporting report data to Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files. Only authorized users will be able to open protected files.
Security and Power BI administrators can use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to monitor user access and activity, perform real-time risk analysis, and set label-specific controls. For example, organizations can use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to configure a policy that prevents users from downloading sensitive data from Power BI to unmanaged devices.
So if the report creator has set data protection and you are not an authorized user. You will not be able to export data.
