Post ProdigyPublish & Solution Governance
Hi icassiem ,
you can’t fully block local publishing, but you can control it with a few steps:
Store all approved PBIX files in one governed SharePoint/OneDrive folder (read-only for users).In Power BI Admin Portal, turn off “Download PBIX” and “Publish to Web.”Limit workspace Admin roles to governance owners; others get Contributor access only.Use Power Automate or Admin APIs to flag reports not published from the approved folder.This keeps publishing controlled without needing to check every file manually.
Thank you.
