    Go to Power BI Admin Portal >> Tenant Settings and disable specific features (e.g., Web, Python, R, Share to web) or restrict them to security groups.Use Microsoft Purview / DLP policies to block data movement between connectors, but note that not all Power BI connectors appear in DLP yet, so coverage is limited.

Using Tenant settings (Admin Portal), you can disable specific connectors (like web, Python, R, etc.) or restrict them to certain security groups. Additionally, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies and Microsoft Purview can block or monitor data movement across connectors, effectively enforcing an “approved connectors only” approach even though the UI still shows them.
