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.
Anonymous - Came across this thread and was hoping you could clarify something for me, please.
I've started to trial Power BI and have created a dashboard that I wish to share with members of my organisation. I've used the publish to web and have used the html code to embed the dashboard into a secure webpage on our intranet. Only members of the organisation can access this page.
Because, i've used Publish to Web, does this still mean someone from the general public can have find and access the dashboard? Even if i'm not using the url link and it's on a secure webpage?
I've used non-sensitive data as a trial run just in case.
I appreciate any clarification.
Hi @Eno1978,
I did a similar thing as you. I embedded the URL to an iframe on an intranet site we have, only accessible internally. However, that embeded URL is accessible via a public network. Our security group defined it as a compromising link and not to use it. I'm not sure how it could the link can be found randomly, unless sniffing programs could find access.
