Hi – Is there a way to disable these requests? We don’t want users submitting access requests this way. They should be leveraging our AD Groups.
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous
In Power BI you can disable the option for people to request direct access to a report by configuring the report's access settings. Here are the steps to do this:
Once you have disabled direct access requests for the necessary users or groups, they will no longer be able to request access to the report directly. Instead, they will need to follow your organization's specific method for requesting access to the report.
Keep in mind that only users who have been granted "Member" or "Admin" access to the workspace will be able to access the report at all. If a user is not a member of the workspace, they will not be able to see the report or request access to it.

Like other comments, I don't see the Security menu in Workspsace setting seither even though I am workspace admin? Is this something that only the Power BI Tenant Admins have access to?
Hi, thanks for this information.
I wonder whether this solution still works in the current Power BI environment. I am Admin of a workspace, but I do not see this security option in the settings.
Any ideas?
If you click on "More Options" next to the dataset, this appears in the dataset settings.
I just tried your solution - but couldnt get it to return the desired behaviour (i.e. users not being able to "request access" to the REPORT, as is also the initial issue in this thread).
Does this apply to the data set only?
I realized shortly after my response that it does not appear on the users end the way I hoped.
I updated my report to the second option and have not been able to locate where this option appears on the users end. I am also trying to address the intial issue from this thread.
OK - thanks for responding
- and for continuing the investigations. Personally I have only hit dead ends so far 😞
Same here. 😕 Keep me posted if you find anything!
Hi there
I am not able to see the suggested path / menu item of "Security" despite being workspace admin.
Would you be able to post a screenshot of how this looks from your end?
Thanks in advance
