Export Data from Visual without Build Permissions

Hello Data Savvy people! I was hoping you could help or confirm my concerns on the below situation...

With the recent Power BI Desktop and Service updates it looks like we now have access to Shared and Certified Datasets which looks to have brought over new security privisioning in the service. I noticed all previously shared reports now have "Read, Build" permissions granted automatically to their datasets. Immediatly I disabled the new Shared Dataset feature and remove the build permissions on all of my datasets so I could vette what should and should not be shared. Interestingly enough, it was noticed that a previous report, one which users export summary data from, no longer worked in that regard. I found that the EXPORT DATA from a visualization's More Options(...) feature looks to be tied to this BUILD permission on the dataset. I bring this up becuase in some cases sharing SUMMARIZED data is fine for my customers but sharing with them the underlining data may NOT be ok. Now, if I wanted to turn on the Shared & Certified dataset feature these users would have access to start Power BI reports of their own from this dataset and potentially see sensitive information before aggregations. 

 

Is there a way to go about setting this up to allow for the exporting of summary data from a report visualization without granting users build permissions on a dataset, basiaclly allowing them to start new reports and see underlying data? 

 

Thanks!
