Power BI report server access control

I am a power BI remote server administrator.,  there is aspecific dashboard in our firm which the management only wants to give permissions to specific users and they do not want to give access other users. But as an administrator I am able to see the dashboard.

Is there any way I can restrict administrators group to stop viewing the dashboard and dowanload the dashboard.

Thanks for answering. My concern is after I publish the report even MYSELF do not want to access the data inside.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can implement row level security (RLS) for your reports by leveraging the DAX functions username() or userprincipalname() in the data set. By defining roles and assigning specific users to those roles, you can control who has access to what data. Layer controls to control user viewing. For more information about RLS, as well as considerations and limitations, check out the documentation: Row-level security (RLS) in Power BI Report Server - Power BI | Microsoft Learn, Row-level security (RLS) guidance in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn, Dynamic Row Level Security with Power BI Made Simple - RADACAD.

 

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Hi @Anonymous 

Create security groups and create Power BI Apps from the workspace. Assign the dashboard in Audiences in the App.
