Publishing only REPORT to Power BI Workspace

[Cardi0z]

I want to publish only the report, because i want my pbix file to be kept private.

Hi @Cardi0z 

You can do that by creating what is called Thin Reports.

How to do that :

• Create 3 Workspaces 
  • 1 Workspace for Test and Dev (if you want) where you have both Dataset and report
  • 1 Workspace where you publish the dataset_PROD only (Remove the report)
  • 1 Workspace where you publish the "Thin" Report_PROD only.
• Create an APP where you publish the Report_PROD 
• Give acces permission to Dataset_PROD to users or AD Security group.

Here are some video on how to create thin report

another way is also to download the report like this

I am afraid, that in order to be able to run the report, you need to have the dataset/semantic model in the workspace. What you can however do is to restrict the privacy for the semantic model, so other users can access only the report. 

Kudos appreciated.
