Sharing a list report without granting access to list

Hi everyone,

 

I have created a Power BI report connected to a Sharepoint list.

I would like to share this report only, without having to grant access to the list which is connected to.

The report I have created has limited data visiblity and I would like it to keep like that, sharing the entire list would show all the data in it.

 

Is there anyway to do that?

 

Thanks!

1.For users not in the workspace, please uncheck 'Allow recipient to build content with the data associated with this report.' when sharing.

Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

2. For users in the workspace, make sure their role is viewer.

3. If you want to implement restricting role access to row-level data, please refer to the:
