Restricting Power BI's Publish to Web (anonymous share) ability to specific security group members
As mentioned in the previous recipe, users can create embed codes using an option called Publish to Web. Once this is done, administrators can view the generated codes/shared reports and choose to revoke the embed code. However, administrators can also choose to not allow this ability in the first place, reserving it for specific security group members (perhaps those that are trained in data sensitivity and compliance) instead. In this recipe, we'll cover the steps to restricting the Publish to Web option to specific security groups.
