    Hi fforest,

     

    You can add turn off export data in your Power BI site if you have admin permission on your Office 365 group.

     

    Then add users in you Office 365 Admin center.

    https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/users

     

    Then users cannot export data when view report in Power BI site.

     

    Regards,

    Charlie Liao

Using the Enterprise Gateway, you can limit who can use a data source. With RLS, if a user does not fall into one of the groups that has access, they will not see any of the data which effectively prevents its use. You could also use Group Workspaces to control access to data as well.

 

You cannot currently export a PBIX file from the Service and I expect that when that capability is released, it will have similar administratrive controls as today that prevent exporting data from visuals.

    Thanks Greg_Deckler. Since our source is a SQL Azure DB, there wasn't an enterprise gateway to speak of, but group workspace and/or RLS should do the trick.

    Thanks v-caliao-msft too for the detailed info. I didn't admin privileges on the demo I quickly put together so I didn't see that option, but it is indeed what I was looking for.
