Can't disable to change filtering for shared reports

PBI filters.JPG

I'd like to disable people to change the filtering option on shared reports. I shared it via My workspace and I thought that it's read only so they can't change it, but yesterday I could see that they can if they want to, but I don't want then to be able to change it at all as some of the information is restricted that's why I filtered it out.

 

These are simply shared reports via powerbi, not embedded or anything else.

 

Can I change this to real read only?

 

Thanks, Szilárd

If the report author added filters to a page in a report, you can interact with them in Reading View. Changes you make will not be saved with the report.

If you want the shared users not able to see some data, you can try to use RLS in your scenario.

Thanks I am aware of the RLS already, but as I link it to an excel file it does not support that.

 

I don't want them to interact with the filtering as I filter out confidential information what they should not be able to access to at all, so it does not help me if the report is not changed.

 

I am sure it's not a big deal to develop that as the visualization part is not accessible at all.

 

Can I request somewhere to make changes, so I can easily hide filter?

 

Thanks, Szilárd
