PowerBI Pro content and publish to web inSharePoint Embed (online)

[srinivasC]

Hi,

I have developed PoweBI Pro content dashboard with my pro license. And, I have published to the web in SharePoint online. 

I heard this dashboard content will be viewed by anyone on the internet. And, it is security compliance. But, I can meet this problem by providing few users access to the SharePoint online site using user setting access.

Will that not suffice from protecting anonymous users? 

Regards

Srini

@srinivasC The URL you generate is what is wide open. If someone gets their hands on the URL, then they can automatically see your report. I'm currently trying to get a better answer from my security experts of how easy this would be for someone with malicious intent get just to re-inforce this point because it keeps coming up.

All I can say is, there is a reason that there is a warning in bold at the top of the article describing this feature. If you generate it, assume that you are exposing your data publically. 

There is no protection/security just because you embed that URL behind a sharepoint login.

Test: Take th URL code that is generated and paste it into the browser of a new browser even an incognito browser. Boom -> There is your report, all somone needs to do is build something to find them.
