Resolver IILimit users ability to view reports - dashboard access only
maracles By design when you share a dashboard regardless of whether you had one pinned visual on it or pinned live page, user you've shared with gets access to same dashboard, reports and data as yourself including all the reports that you have within that pbix.
In order to use single dataset for multiple reports, once your dataset is published from powerbi desktop to powerbi service, in powerbi.com under Datasets click open on your dataset -> create visuals as required -> file -> save as. This will create a new report using single dataset.
Helper Vmaracles are your shared dashboard visuals pinned to dashboard, or a whole report pinned live?
in scenario 1, navigate to the dashboard --> click open menu "...." --> tile detail --> set a custom link (could be any website) in this case when any user press the visual in the dashboard, it will redirect them to the custom link
in scenario 2, if you have pinned a live page (personally I love this option, as it gives the same awesome interactivity function of a report) --> go to tile detail --> untick the first box "title and subtitle" now your users won't be able to drill down to the report, and they still can use the functionality of a report inside a dashboard.
I created 46 pages in a report, each for a sales user, to maintain data protection
Hello,
I'm trying to do something similar, but ran into an issue with testing out "scenario 2". When the dashboard is shared with someone, they can't click through to the whole report; however, they can click "..." in the corner, then click "go to report", and in that way access all pages and the entire report.
Does anyone have a solution that gets around this, and completely prevents the end user from accessing the entire report?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. User can click "..." in the right corner, then click "go to report" and view all pages and reports.
I only want users to view the reports on Dashboard.
Is there any way to do?
Thanks!
Do we have any update on this? Is there any way users can only access the pages related to the pinned dashboard page and not the entire report? Say, a report has 5 pages from which I pinned 4 pages in a single dashboard. When users click on "..." and go to report, they get to access all 5 pages instead of just 4.
maraclesmajdkaid22 Thanks for those suggestions. Both could come in useful but the second one especially.

using scenario 2, disable the heading on the dashboard.
. Getting automatic access to the report seems ridiculous and thankfully I discovered it just in time. otherwise what is purpose of creating user based dashboards when each user could access the whole report.
however, seems users can still access the whole report, particulary using the application on a tablet.

hi, I noticed that the scenario 2 does not work if user is accessing the Power BI dashboard from an IPAD. any ideas?
tks
Option 2 does work but drawback is that I can not set the last refresh time. When I tick that box the display title is automatically turned on!
I would be very usefull is the automatic derill down to the report is default disables for ALL pages in a dashboard.
I now have about 10 pages and I can manage this via the details, but when you have more pages and create different versioned updates to a dashboard you have to check all pages again.
