    Hi, there is no specific configuration about preventing one user to export one report. The only way to avoid the export for single user and single report is keeping the user as Viewer at the workspace and revoking the build permission.

    The doc says: "Allow users to export data: Even users with the Viewer role in the workspace can export data if they have Build permission on the datasets in that workspace."

    If you revoke the build permission for Viewer then they can't export. 

    That's the only way I think.

    I hope that helps,
