Made the exact same post earlier but did not realise I wasn't logged in and can no longer find it! So here goes, will try to remember what I wrote... Basically, I'm trying to subscribe other users to a hidden report page in a published PBI App. In the subcription menu that comes up, one is able to select which report page to subscribe to, but I can't see any hidden report pages in the drop-down. Is this by design? The concerned report has lots of pages so I force users to navigate via buttons & bookmarks, to keep it clean and improve the user experience.
The only thing I could find concerning this issue is this post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Possible-to-subscribe-to-a-hidden-report-page/idi-p/350755
The user who created the post describes the ability to select hidden pages in the dropdown as an "issue", and that it affects the security of the report. A community user responds saying that this is by design, and that hidden pages should never be used to maintain security (which I totally agree with!).
Despite this response, it seems that the change has been implemented, as I can't select hidden pages in the drop-down. Hidden pages should be selectable, it is often-times far cleaner to hide pages and force users to access via buttons & bookmarks.
Am I doing something wrong on my end?
Thanks for the help!
Hi @mostvp123 ,
Currently Power BI does not support subscribe to hidden pages just as @VijayP said. Here is one similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas , you can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature .
Best Regards
I donot think this feature is avaialble. Page Hiding is a security feature hence that is not added to subscription option

Hi VijayP, thanks for your reply.
This feature was available in the past, but clearly has been disabled. This is outlined in the PBI community post link I sent: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Possible-to-subscribe-to-a-hidden-report-page/idi-p/350755
I'm attaching a screenshot of the Community User's reply at the time:
Clearly, the feature was available at the time. As stated in his reply, hiding a page should never be used as a security measure. In fact, users can easily export a PDF version of a report and include hidden pages. So why should we not be able to subscribe to these pages?
Thanks for the help!
