if we can lock a desktop made dashboard it will be great to share it in an enterprise.
also this will prevent the dashboard to be changed by mistake. when I click on an item this action drag the content, so I have to move it back to the initial position.

As a global organisation we love PowerBi but can’t trust the security until a password wrapper is in place enabling us to publish on the web for intended clients only

RE: Add a password protected Power BI Desktop option

I develop and sell Power BI dashboard reports and I need a way to prevent a customer from sending the product to other non customers. Since the .pbix files cannot be password protected, anyone who buys my power bi solution/product, can give it to anyone they desire. What's up with that? Power BI needs a password wrapper or better yet a mechanism so that once the .pobix files are installed on a server they can never be copied and shared. .pbix files...

RE: Add a password protected Power BI Desktop option

If Power BI can't add this most basic security feature, how can we ever trust the security of this infrastructure with sensitive data needed to build dashboards??? This has been being requested since 2015! Step up to the plate Microsoft.

Please add this feature to desktop version. It will be very useful to be able to work on a read-only version when exploring new funcionalities.

RE: Add a password protected Power BI Desktop option

I am surprized if an excel or word doc can be password protected then it should have that as well.

RE: Add a password protected Power BI Desktop option

Please add this option. It's no longer sustainable offering 'single source of truth' reports, when actually we cannot even guarantee there are no adjustments made to the reporting setup.
