Retaining dashboard IPR

Hi all - hoping for some help

 

In my organisation, I'd like to be able to build a set of dashboards, and license access for clients to connect to their own database. The connections within the dashboard will assume the client database is in a certain structure.

 

I can build a PBIX file and share that - but that has then given the intellectual property of the dashboard away. I want to retain this, so customers cannot amend, but allow them to "plug in" their own databases.

 

If I publish the dashboard to the customer's tenant, they can then download the PBIX file. Any thoughts? Embedded?

 

Thanks

Hi @thebadger77 ,

If I understand correctly, you can try this:

1. Share your daashboard.

2. Remove access of ralated reports.

Then, others cannot change your dashboard but have access to create new report based on your dataset.

 

If I misunderstood, please let me know.
