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
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.
