Safe to send .pbix to another individual?

[Mikerossanthony]

I just want to double check that not database credentials or anything of that nature are included in a .pbix report. I am interested in emailing one to someone for assistance but want to make sure its secure

Hi @Mikerossanthony,

I made a test by connecting to Sql server database using Power BI desktop.

1. Import data from sql server in one of my machine.

2. Save the pbix and open it in another machine. I can see the content but database credentials you cannot see it in that. Please refer to the screenshot as below.
