Helper VPublish to web
kkalyanrr Yes you can do that, but be aware that anything using Publish to Web is accessible by anyone. Just because you stick the embedded piece behind SharePoint doesn't mean its secure. It's the embed URL that is discoverable.

When you say discoverable what exactly do you mean. Dont you have to be provided the url including the embed code? People on the internet can't stumble upon it right?
admiralman When you use Publish to Web, I am stating that anyone on the internet can stumble upon it. Obviously with a bit more effort, but yes, you are essentially exposing your company data to the world using this method. It is only for use with public information, any other use is exposing private information publically.

Anonymous I would have to disagree with the reference to "stumbling on it". To access my Outlook.com email account you wouldn't necessarily stumble upon my username and password any more than you would stumble upon an embed code such as this "eyJrIjoiYWQzOWI5YTctYzAyYy00NzJlLTk1NTUtMzU0YmRhYWVhYTMzIiwidCI6IjNhMTcyM2I5LTgxMzItNDUwNi1iNmNkLTgxOWYxN2MwZGExZCIsImMiOjZ9". I believe it would take more effort to decipher the correct embed code than it would to hack most accounts. Am I missing something? Is there another way that one would stumble upon the embed code?
