    Here it is the support team response. 

     

    It is not possible to restrict users from opening some of the repots sharing same semantic model. Actually, giving read access to the semantic model (which is required for the reports to work) automatically gives access to *ALL* the reports sharing the same semantic model. This is by design, they say. 

     

    I will have to develop a way to deny users access to undue reports using RLS features, somehow.  Maybe using OLS. We'll see..

Hi iW1DOV 

 

What I have seen happen in the past is where you share a report with the user and unknowinly . There is also another tick box that allows that user to share the report with others and that could be potentially how they are getting access to the reports. Even though you haven't done it, a single user has reshared with another user and that user will then also have the option to on share again.
