Visual Permission for Each Users

Hello, experts.   Is it possible to control visual by user?   For example, user A should see graph1. user b should see graph2...   I doubt it is possible in power bi.   Thanks.

    This is not possible.  You can control the data to each visual but not the visuals themselves.  If you want to group the visuals that they should see onto different pages, you can control the pages that are displayed.  With the addition of Page Navigation buttons and the ability to conditionally determine the navigation destination, one can display different pages to different users/user groups.   Please note that this isn't the same as implementing page security because IF the user was able to determine the hidden page's report identifier, they could modify the URL and reach the page. However, this can be a good technique if you have different user groups, that while viewing the same data, want to see different views or layouts perhaps because of a difference in job focus for example. Check out these two blogs for how to do it.
