Turn off Explore this Data feature
The docs specify that you can only use it with build permission. You might want to take a look and check if you are sharing to users in the correct way. A regular viewer user, shouldn't have that permission.
Check the PowerBi App setting when sharing. At the last step under advanced settings there is something about this.
I hope that helps,
Hi. I'm sorry but no. You can't turn that off. However, it's a preview feature, that means it's still been developed, things can changed in a near future. I suggest checking the docs to keep up to date: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/explore-data-service
I hope that helps,
thanks, my concern is that users are able to access data via Apps from the semantic model/dataset, which we might not want them to see so it would be really useful if we could disable this feature.

I have run into an issue where the individuals are able to use this feature but they do not have build permissions. Since they do not have build permissions they are not able to save what they build. Thankfully they arent able to save it. However, they are still able to see all tables and measures available in the model. Have a big concern with this feature.
Agree - was this ever resolved?
Agree no more! this is a big concern from data security prespective!!! pls allow to disable regular user to use this function if they do not have the build permission...
