Share dashboard without sharing the assiciated report

Hello,
I have created a dashboard. It is located in a workspace with associated reports.
I would like to share the dashboard with a power bi user but without giving access to the reports used to create the dashboard.
Ideally, I'd like the reports not to be visible to the user at all.
I've tried several access configurations, but I can't find anything that works.
The subjects similar to this one are a bit dated, so I'm creating this one.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking of a more global approach to authorization levels. It's a shame that the system allows you to set access parameters at each level (workspace, report and dashboard) but doesn't automatically filter what is visible to users.

I'm also surprised that there aren't more requests on this subject, which concerns data security.

Hi. There is no default setting for changing that. However, a tip I can share that was usefull for other users was changing the details of the tile. For each tile of the dashboard, get in the details and change functionallity to "Set custom link". As the URL use the same URL you are seeing for the dashboard and add at the end a "#". The Hashtag at the end is to make sure the browser won't send a request for loading the link all over again. If you don't add it it will trigger an F5.

Make sure to end it specifying you open it in the same tab.

That will make the feeling like there is no behaviour when clicking the tile.

I hope that helps

That will result in a bad UX.  When the user clicks on any of the dashboard tiles the Power BI service will attempt to take the user back to the report page of the visual that birthed the dasboard tile. If that visual, page or report are no longer there the user will be redirected randomly.
