Restrict viewing of Semantic Model
Hi all I'm fairly new to Power BI and learning as I go along. We have a report for an external customer that has been written by another developer. The report for the customer will be shared to thei...
I managed this eventually by actually just hiding the tables in Power BI Desktop and re-publishing.
Then he needs to be removed from the workspace. You can give acces to the report and its data without allowing the end user to be in the Workspace by using Power BI App. That's what Power BI App is meant for.
OK thank you. I don't know how to do that. Would you be able to point me in the right direction with some help files please?
Thanks for the help so far.
Long story short, in a professional way :
- Create 3 Workspaces; WSName_Dev&Test , WSName_Dataset_Prod , WSName_Report_Prod
- Publish your dev/test pbix and its report to WSName_Dev&Test
- Once all good and ready for Production, publish the Pbix to WSName_Dataset_Prod and from the report download
- Open the copy(Thin report) in your desktop and republish it to WSName_Report_Prod
- (Optional) Go back to WSName_Dataset_Prod and delete the report(Keep the Pbix)
- From WSName_Report_Prod create the App and add your Users or Security to group to audience then publish the App
- Go back to WSName_Dataset_Prod and Manage permissions of the semantic
to add users or security group as viewers. Do Not Add users to Workspaces.
- Inform or share the App with users.
Hope all is clear.
Wow!! OK thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and see how I get along. Thank you so much for the help.
