Publish to Web Option Missing

Hello,

 

When trying to a publish a report I created the "File > Publish to Web" option is unavailable. I would like distribute this report publicly to users that do not have Power BI Pro access. Why is my Publish to Web option missing? How do I fix this?

 

Thanks

    Hi there

    I am confident that your Power BI Administrator has disabled this from working.

    Contact your Power BI Admin and ask them about these details.

    Also remember that when using Publish to Web anyone who has the link could send that to anyone else and they could see your data.

    Here is a blog post by ExceleratorBI explaining how dangerous this could be: https://exceleratorbi.com.au/publish-web-not-secure/

      Hi there,

       

      I'm not sure what's the issue but we clearly have 'Publish to web' enabled (can't up;load a screenshot). But the Publish to Web is missing regardless.

      Using API is not straight forward and not an alternative for me at the moment.

       

      Many Thanks,

      Grzeg

        OK, not sure if the interface havs changed since I got Pro license or it's just me being a dummy. 

        'Publish to web' is where it should be:

        Report/Dashboard - File -Publish to web

         

        Thanks,
