'Ask your data a question' is broken?

Is anyone else having issues with the 'Ask your data a question' box appearing after the feature has been turned off? This is essentially giving access to all the underlying data to people in our org who should only be able to see the graph/chart. 

 

Step #1: Page loaded normally with the feature turned off.

Step 2: Click on another shared dashboard:

Step 3: Click back on the original dashboard and now users can search by whatever, giving them full access to the underlying dataset?

@Beckham I am unable to reproduce your issue. I followed same steps and shared it with a user and checked on his account. Are you sure you have unchecked Q&A option in dashboards settings and clicked Apply ?

 

I am able to reproduce the error. I followed the same steps after ensuring that the 'Show the Q&A search box on this dashboard' was unchecked.

@JRC@Beckham I'm assuming that along with it showing you tested to ensure that you could access information that otherwise would be un-available? Be sure to add this to the Issues UV section.

Great question. Yes, I did test to see if users could access data that is not on the dashboard. Users are able to access the full underlying data model by launching ask a question.

@JRC Yeah, not cool. I'll throw some votes on that issue if you or @Beckham creates it. Either way, be sure to post back here with a link.

Yeah, it is a very unfortunate glitch. I'll create a post in the issue section referenced and post a link back on this thread tomorrow morning. I have also opened a service request with Microsoft, so I will post back here if I receive a response. Thanks!

@Beckham, do you still have this issue? I can't reproduce it, it will be helpful if you can share me the details via email (visong at microsoft dot com).
