Releasing reports for specific users

I work in Power BI Desktop to create various reports and the Report View shows 10+ separate report pages (the tabs at the bottom). I want to restrict certain report pages so that only certain users can view and interact with them. For example, there is one report for the West that should be shared with the person responsible for the West only. There is another report for the East that should be shared with the person responsible for the East only. I want to set up a sharing system where I do not have to export or copy & paste or "save a report as". How can I set up access permissions for different people for different report pages so that later report changes are propagated automatically? This should be easy (methinks) but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help.

You could use my solution below, but please be aware that this hides pages and is not 100% secure.
