External users exporting underyling data through an app
Hi, I have a bunch of reports in a workspace. All have Export Data set in PBIX file before publishing. The reports also have export data set in the report settings online. All the reports are...
helspaul , There is an option in workspace settings you can enable it
- In Power BI online, go to the workspace where the app is published.
- Click on the ellipsis (...) next to the workspace name and select "Workspace settings".
- In the Workspace settings, go to the "Access" tab.
- Scroll down to the "Export data" section.
- By default, the option "Guest users can export data" is set to "Off". Change it to "On" to allow guest users to export data.
- Click "Apply" to save the changes.
If it is still greyed out than it is possible that Power BI adminstrator has applied additional settings
Thanks for the response. I'm a Pro user and admin on the workspace - I created it and uploaded all the content.
When I click on the ellipse I see Workspace Settings and Workspace Access.
Within Workspace Settings I see
- General
- License Info
- Azure Connections
- System Storage
- Git Integration
- OneLake
- Workspace identity
- Network Security
- Power BI > General
- Power BI > Data Connections
- Power BI > Embeded Codes
Within Workspace Access I see the list of users who can access the workspace, and nothing else
I've been through each option and I don't see the export data control you mention. Does that mean I'm missing some controls? My adminstrator isn't that techie and i have to point him to the control I want changing. Where do I instruct him to go to allow this?
