Currently Export data can be disabled from the service but not from Power BI Embeded. We want to keep our data from being able to exported by others and see Power BI Embeded as our prefered roll out solution but the lack of ability to turn off the export feature means that we are not currently able to use Embeded for this purpose. Ideally we need a way to control export data at a visual level but at minimum control at a dashboard / report level. This is a high priority feature for us to be able to complet our role out.

This sees to be implemented now. Adding
settings: { commands: [{ exportData: { displayOption: 2 } }] }
to embedding configuration hides export option.

Somehow documented here: https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/interfaces/_node_modules_powerbi_models_dist_models_d_.isettings.html

It will be great to let developer control on 'More Option' button: to remove the button itself or specific options in it.
What is the request status now?

Any new status on planned roll out of this functionality? Could we at least disable the addittional options as a whole (the thee dots)?

RE: Disable Export data function in Power BI Embeded

Thanks I am looking forward to control this option in Power BI embedded , especially when user click on Export data, I just want user to see/download summary data but not Entire (Underlying) data.

RE: Disable Export data function in Power BI Embeded

Great news. Will this level of control be available in the old Azure Embedded which we are still using at this stage?

RE: Disable Export data function in Power BI Embeded

If we could dynamically set this permission, that would be fantastic. We have some people who know what they're doing and can use the raw data exported to do very granular analysis and others who would only get more confused by all the data.
