The "Publish to web" setting for portal administrators currently has the options of 'Enabled' or 'Disabled'. It would be beneficial to have this manageable in the same way as content packs so certain security (AAD) groups could be set as publishers.

Great news (and sorry for the late update). We added granular admin controls for Publish to web, so you can choose which of your users can create or are excluded from creating Publish to web embed codes. Just go to the Power BI Admin portal, expand Tenant Settings, expand Publish to web and you'll see the options. Here's the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal#tenant-settings

RE: Enable specific security groups setting for 'Publish to web'

Is there any chance that this might be completed soon? The business is starting to use R Shiny to publish data on the web. They are thinking of using R shiny internally and I really don't want to stop using PowerBI but the story could end that way without this update as my CIO won't tolerate the security risk......

Hi @Adam Wilson....Any news? even if it is "it is likely to be 'x' days/weeks/months", some sort of indication of a delivery time will help enterprise planning for our PBI framework.

RE: Enable specific security groups setting for 'Publish to web'

Is there going to be an update on the status of this? It's almost been 6 months since we've heard anything from the Admins. Like the other comments have stated, this is a very important security feature and there's no way our organisation can use the "Publish to Web" option until we restrict the users that can use it.

Could someone please give us an ETA for this?

Hi Adam.
This feature is very important to our organization, which has more than 45,000 office 365 users.
Do you know when it will be available?
Thanks.

Hi @Adam Wilson ...How's this one going? A timeframe, or estimate, would greatly assist in the planning of our enterprise solution using Power BI.

There should be a method of limiting the domain users can publish content to so they can only publish to the corporate powerbi.com website for instance, or turn off external publishing so they can only publish to PBI report Server (on premise) instances. Ideally this should be enforceable via a group policy on the domain

Fantastic. Looking forward to it. We've got TONS of reports we want to make available publicly.
