publish and sharing

Hello,


I work in bank and we would like to use Power BI for data visualization for our clients. However, due to security reasons we can't upload any of our client information on the cloud / the power BI web services.

 

Is there a way to share the reports we generate without publishing the report to the Power BI web services? so we just need to connect to our LAN to get the data?

 

Thanks you

Hi @andrew_qualtz ,

I agree with @Anonymous. You could try Power BI report server.

  • For Power BI report server, it can be deployed in on-premises or hosted cloud. However, we need the license of Power BI Premium or SQL Server EE with Software Assurance (SA) while using it.  I add a few documents that you could reference to learn more.

  • For report templates, it is a on-premises file actually. I think it is same as pbix file for your current situation. If you want to share the files with your organizations and don't publish to Service, maybe you could upload to your shared folder or OneDrive for Business and other similar tools.

Hope this can help you.😉
