Is data secured when we use R Visual ?

[akj2784]

Hi All,

I have created a custom R visual using pbiviz tool. Just wanted to check if there is any risk on data security ?

I mean if I publish the code to Service, my data would be secured or not ?

Hi @akj2784,

Actually, service use sandbox to handling r script and you not need to care with this.

For detailed information, please take a look at following link to know more about this visual.

Creating R visuals in the Power BI service

R visuals are created from R scripts, which could potentially contain code with security or privacy risks.

These risks mainly exist in the authoring phase when the script author run the script on their own computer.

The Power BI service applies a sandbox technology to protect users and the service from security risks.

This sandbox approach imposes some restrictions on the R scripts running in the Power BI service, such as accessing the Internet, or accessing to other resources that are not required to create the R visual.
