I need the ability to disable the data export and print functions for a report due to security reasons.

RE: Disable Export

Along with the power to turn off export at a dashboard level we really need the ability to be able to turn off analyse in excel. We want to be able to use analyse in excel for our interal users but this will allow external users access which means they can get access to our entire database which is not somthing that we can allow. Hopefully this is one that will get looked at soon!

RE: Disable Export

In the same way that turning off Q and A is an option for each dashboard turning off export should be an option. This should be easy to do and is a major concern for us. Please make this happen soon.

RE: Disable Export

The March addition of having the admin level turn off export does not provide enough control. We need to be able to disable export for some reports that we share with external users. Far more control is needed over this feature. This is needed for us as a priority feature and I agree this should get more votes.

RE: Disable Export

It isn't really a easy solution to require global admin privileges to disable data export privileges! Should be much simpler!

RE: Disable Export

We also need this, or our client will not be able to use Power BI.

RE: Disable Export

Must have. Without export control (enable\disbale at least) feature Power BI is useless for us.

RE: Disable Export

I also need to be able to select some tables that I do not want external users to be able to export data from. I am surprised that this idea has not got more votes. Please help get this idea up the list as sharing with external users has answered our business needs but we need to be able to control how much access external users get for security reasons. Please help get this idea up. It should be a fairly simple one to fix.
