    it would be important for us to have the option to restrict the access to "Analyze in Excel" when publishing to an App.

    Yes! There needs to be a way to provide just view only access to reports (preferably in apps). It's disingenuous to say that user's can't "download that dataset" when they can analyze in excel.

    When reports are shared using either the "Share" oder "App" feature, the dataset is exposed as well. Every recipient (with a Pro-license) is allowed to use "Analyze in Excel" or access the dataset with the "Power BI Publisher". As a report creator I must be able to prevent this!
