Preventing User1 from Exporting Data from Visualizations in Contoso Workspace

Introduction

User1 is a member of a security group named Contoso PowerBI and has access to a workspace named Contoso Workspace. The goal is to prevent User1 from exporting data from the visualizations in Contoso Workspace.

Solution

Solution: From the Microsoft Office 365 Admin center, you remove User1 from the All Users security group.

Question

Does this meet the goal?

Answer

B. No, Final answer: No, removing User1 from the All Users security group in the Microsoft Office 365 Admin center does not meet the goal of preventing User1 from exporting data from the visualizations in Contoso Workspace.

Explanation: To prevent User1 from exporting data from the visualizations in Contoso Workspace, removing User1 from the All Users security group in the Microsoft Office 365 Admin center is not sufficient. The All Users security group is a general group that includes all users in the organization. Removing User1 from this group will not specifically restrict their export permissions in Contoso Workspace.

To achieve the goal, you need to modify the export settings for Contoso Workspace and remove the export permission for User1. This can be done by accessing the workspace settings in Microsoft Power BI and adjusting the permissions for User1. By removing the export permission, User1 will no longer be able to export data from the visualizations in Contoso Workspace.
