Publish-to-web Report vs Dashboard

[FitzWestYorks]

Is is possible to publish (make public) a PowerBi Dashboard (ie a set of pinned reports)?

We have 'publish to web' enabled and have been able to generate embed and iframe codes using reports, but when it comes to dashboards, the publish to web option isnt available. Is this an intentional feature? Can anyone explain why this isnt availble?

Hi @FitzWestYorks 

Publish to web has no license requirements for the report viewers .So everyone can view the report if you provide the URL of the report .

But dashboard is different from report ,because dashboard can be composed of multiple reports. Some reports have private data and are not suitable for users to consult . So this function of Publish to web is not provided to the dashboard .

More info about Publish to web can refer to the link below .

Publish to web can only be done on a singular report level. Since dashboard is essentially a compilation of elements from various reports the feature is not supported.
