Prevent access to model in the App

[ConstMoss]

i have an app that i shared with a group of users. The requirements are : 

1. Users shouldn't be able to edit the report

2. They shouldn't be able to create new reports off of the data set - in other words, they shouldn't have access to the underlying model

how can we accomplish these? thank you in advance.

Hi @ConstMoss,

If you publish an App, only users who have edit permissions in the original appworkspace can edit the App. All others can only see and interact with it.
Make sure your users are not members of the appworkpace with editing permissions.

Thanks, what about "They shouldn't be able to create new reports off of the data set - in other words, they shouldn't have access to the underlying model"

@ConstMoss,

It's solved in the same way, users can not download the dataset as pbix and re-publish it. They can access the Analyze in Excel functionality, but that's not a problem according to what you describe, anyway check it out before:
