Disable Data Refresh by Users.

[VisheshVats]

Hello,

I wish to publish a report that only refreshes on the scheduled time that I set it to. I do not want the other viewers to be able refresh the data set. How can this be achieved?

Hi  @VisheshVats ,

You can find the dataset for that report in the power bi service, click on Manage permissions.

Enter the Dateset interface and give the user only the Read permission.

Refer to:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-manage-access-permissions#ma...

@VisheshVats  - Please givem them on 'Viewer' permissions only.  Contributors, Members and Admin can refresh the datasets.
