Preventing Data Export in Power BI Workspace

How can you prevent a user from exporting data from the visualizations in a Power BI workspace?

Which solution is effective in restricting a specific user from exporting data in Power BI?

Solution:

To prevent a user from exporting data from the visualizations in a Power BI workspace, you need to modify the settings within the Power BI service workspace permissions, not in the Microsoft Office 365 Admin center.

Preventing a user from exporting data from visualizations in Power BI requires adjusting the settings within the Power BI service workspace permissions. By modifying the permissions for the specific user within the workspace, you can restrict their ability to export data while still allowing them to view and interact with the visualizations.

In this scenario, it is crucial to access the workspace settings within Power BI. By navigating to the 'Permissions' tab in the workspace settings, you can locate the specific user, such as User1, and adjust their permissions accordingly to prevent data export.

It's important to note that modifying settings in the Microsoft Office 365 Admin center will not achieve the desired goal of restricting data export within Power BI. To effectively prevent a user from exporting data, it must be done within the Power BI service itself.

By following the correct process and adjusting permissions within the Power BI workspace settings, you can successfully prevent a user from exporting data from visualizations while still allowing them to utilize and interact with the data in a meaningful way.
