parameterize or encrypt Dax formulas

Hello

I am deploying a custom solution for my clients using power bi.  I have measures and calculated columns in the dimensions. 

I would like to make sure that the model and the other measures and dimensions are not changed by anyone.. 

How can I encrypt or parameterize or maybe make the model secure so that it can not be changed unwantedly ?

basically how to patent a model.

Cheers

Sachy

Well, the easiest way to ensure that the model is not changed is to share it out to your clients via the Service and provide them only read access to it. You cannot change the model within the Service. However, this likely has few holes in it as they could potentially connect Live to your model or download the PBIX essentially.
