Hi, @karo 


It's not okay to disable the sharing feature of the report, but there are a few other ways you can limit sharing.

Set permissions for users, such as making users read-only so they can't modify and share visuals.

If you're an admin, you can find Allow shareable links to grant access to everyone in your organization through the Power BI admin portal and turn it off so that the link that should be shared is inaccessible.

You can also create visuals that match your needs and share them with your teammates, so you don't have to share them unnecessarily.

 Thank you for your reply, but it is not an answer to my question. Granting only read permissions is not affecting sharing functionality on visual level (chart sharing). Changing mentioned Tenant Settings is also not an answer to my question.

 

And just to be clear "It's okay to disable the sharing feature of the report" if you have such requirements. Depending on your business requirements you may  want to disable some functionalities.

Not possible.  Even if it were possible - you cannot prevent your user from sharing screenshots. This needs to be handled via SBC.

@lbendlin

Thank you for reply. I am aware that users can always do screenshots, print visual, show the visual to unauthorized audience or expose data via many other ways, however I was hoping to have a possibility to disable it, the same way as we have in case for example comments.

I wouldn't waste my time with that. If your data is really sensitive use RLS and non-technical processes (like SBC).
