Hello @ShaunLeMouton,

 

Your Power BI Admin can disable export for specific security groups:

Admin Portal → Tenant Settings → Export and Sharing Settings → Export data

If this setting is enabled only for certain groups, those 3 users may fall outside the allowed list.
They’ll still see the report but the Export to Excel option will be greyed out.

Ask your admin to confirm that the users’ AD group is included in the “Export data allowed for these groups” list.

Hope it will help !

Best regards,

Antoine
