Hi  lbendlin ,

 

I have enabled the export underlying data setting under the report settings in pbix as well as enabled it at the power bi admin portal (from organization's O365 portal). But still the user with the Read permission is unable to export underlying data, only summarized is possible. 

 

In some Power BI blogs I've come across, they've mentioned that underlying export will be enabled with Build permission only.

 

So is there anymore settings I can tweak to enable the export without letting the user change the report?

Saud Meethal

Hi  Anonymous ,

 

For exporting underlying data, it requires a buid permission.

See the reference below:

Limitations and considerations

These limitations and considerations apply to Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service, including Power BI Pro and Premium.

Here is the related .reference:

Best Regards,
