When an App is created/published, the reports AND datasets are visible to the end users. The users are able to analyze the datasets in Excel which is not necessarily desirable. This capability should be able to be controlled by the Admin.

RE: Hide datasets from published app
This appears to have been added - when you publish an app there's a tickbox
'Allow all users to connect to the app's underlying datasets'
If you untick this - App users can't see the datasets
RE: Hide datasets from published app
Kristina is absolutely right. This is a major security problem. I generally use single main datasets with many direct connect reports and dashboards. My clients do not want their users analysing data that is not intended for them.The new app navigation is the place to deal with this issue. RLS is not the solution.
RE: Hide datasets from published app
This very important! Even if someone does not have access to the reports (not included in the RLS access), they are able to analyze the dataset in Excel and see all the data behind those reports. That simply defeats the purpose of RLS restrictions.
