Export data with viewer role

I am checking new viewer role does not allow on charts to download excel and summarize data.

It could be a good option to add, because a contributor can delete reports or edit..

Adding some kind of view pbix and download  data without modifying report features.

hi, @dpombal

viewer role could export data, you need to define the permission

 

  • To allow users with Viewer role to export data, ensure they have Build permission on the datasets in the workspace. Read more about Build permission for datasets.
