Restrict scheduling of refresh
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 Ibarrau,
I appreciate your prompt response which is very helpful indeed.
I was hoping to only limit the time slots available (as an example allowing for refreshes between 1200 and 1700 only and not when the ETL processes are running). It was configurable in Tableau but as you highlighted not an option in Power BI.
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your day.
