    Sure, no problem. As an alternative to build standards for the company and motivate the users to respect them, you can take away that permission. If you are using gateways, keep the permission for admins only. If you are using a cloud source it might be more complex because you can't prevent it easily, you should build a repository to make devs work until there and let an admin or CD configuration to publish and configure refreshes. Those two ways make you owner of all refreshes at the tenant.

    I hope that helps,

Hi. I don't think there is a way inside Power Bi to prevent the amount of refreshes a user can configure for a dataset. That kind of issues are solved with a good developer culture. Talking about best practices with the team, generating commitment to the standards you can define with good importance explanation. The team should respect the  company standards for developing or deploying.

I hope that helps,
