Can Publish to web be made safe by allocating passwords to users?

[kerryf]

Is it possible to set passwords for access to a dashboard through publish to web?

if not, any suggestions to help maintain and limit access whilst sharing with partners in and outside the organisation?

thanks - from a novice / new user

@kerryf It is not possible to set password for access when using a dashboard/reports through publish to web.

This is what Microsoft says:

"When you use Publish to web, the report or visual you publish can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. There is no authentication used when viewing these reports. Only use Publish to web with reports and data that the anyone on the Internet (unauthenticated members of the public) should be able to see. Before publishing this report, ensure you have the right to share the data and visualizations publicly. Do not publish confidential or proprietary information. If in doubt, check your organization's policies before publishing".

Another options could be trying out Power BI Embedded (I haven't tried though) or last option is to subscribe users to Power BI Online license to get password access to the reports.

Hope this helps !
