Hi PBI community!
I received this request from our clients now already multiple times and I still haven't been able to resolve it. I need to enable users to manually refresh the power BI dataset (and report), while the report is only shared with them (they can't be able to download it and they don't have acces to the dataset now). How can I achieve this? I can enable them to access the dataset but I don't want them to download the pbix.
We operate on Power BI Pro licenses and we plan for it to stay this way.
Thanks a lot
Solved! Go to Solution.

I doubt this is possible with Pro. You can provide a button to refresh but again 8 times limit is there. This video explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8NlEeIIRiQ
