Publish to Web Data Model

Hi SeattlePowerBI ,

Technically, you are not giving them access to the dataset... BUT, publishing to web is putting something out there for the world to see.  I wouldn't publish anything to the web if there was even the hint of sensitive or private data in it.   I give you these two notes from Microsoft:

Warning

When you use Publish to web, anyone on the Internet can view your published report or visual. Viewing requires no authentication. It includes viewing detail-level data that your reports aggregate. Before publishing a report, make sure it's okay for you to share the data and visualizations publicly. Don't publish confidential or proprietary information. If in doubt, check your organization's policies before publishing.

Note

You can embed your content securely in an internal portal or website. Use the Embed or Embed in SharePoint Online options. These options ensure that all permissions and data security are enforced when your users view your internal data.

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
