Restrict 'Publish to Web' Functionality?
olimilo There are several options but they require embedding the report into an application.
If this is for external customers, and you have an outward facing applicatoin you can use Power BI Embedded
For internal purposes, you can use the Developer tools to embed or there was a new release that makes embedding in SharePoint really straightforward.
olimilo First, see and read this. Note the giant warning right at the top.

Warning:
When you use Publish to web, the report or visual you publish can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. There is no authentication used when viewing these reports. Only use Publish to web with reports and data that the anyone on the Internet (unauthenticated members of the public) should be able to see. Before publishing this report, ensure you have the right to share the data and visualizations publicly. Do not publish confidential or proprietary information. If in doubt, check your organization's policies before publishing.

Secondarily, because you are essentially agreeing to expose your data to the internet (everyone), you are inherintly agreeing to the fact that there is no privacy. So, no there are no additional settings.
If you have company data, you need to embed, or use one of the secure sharing methods at your disposal.
Hi Anonymous! Thank you for the link. That is what I've seen in the confirmation box when publishing the report to the web. Is there any other secure way for me to share the report (bar sending the file itself) to other people aside from turning them into live pages in a dashboard?

Thank you! I might just go and embed the reports in Sharepoint. :)
I'm kind of stuck here. I tried to follow the path to embed it to sharepoint. When ever I tried to share this to users with read-only permissions, it asks them to install PowerBI Pro. I will be adminstering the report and I just to need to have read-only access to a large orginization that needs to see this report. I am really trying to avoid having to purchase licesense to read a report.
Best regards
