Add security to show/hide any specific page (Tab) on a report based on users privileges / Roles.

Thanks for all the feedback! Currently, Power BI does not have a security feature for pages; however, using conditional page navigation and RLS, you can create a custom navigation experience that shows different page options for different roles.

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

Wonder if someone cares to read our comments or not. We are paying for professional license for God's sake and we want to expand power bi usage but these issues are holding up. It is difficult to create and manage multiple versions of reports due to user security. Hope Microsoft responds.

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

Good usecase is having a Admin/Writeback page using PowerApps, which should be only visible to super-users - currently - we need to store 2 versions - which makes maintenance more difficult.

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

This is a big requirement for most of our dashboard. It would be very helpful to have Page level security.

Hide tabs in a report for different roles

Hi There,

suppose i had created 3 roles, and i defined what to hide for each roles, the common thing remains here is that all of them can view only related tabs not all the tabs.

i had 9 pages created for 3 roles, 3pages/role. report contains all the 9 pages but i want only 3 related pages to be een to each user rest of them to be hidden.

Team, Please add this feature in Power BI report server so that we can restrict the users viewing limited data

Any updates on this idea? It seems more people are looking for this functionality as PBI gains momentum throughout businesses around the globe.

RLS doesn't seem to be the answer when there's only one sheet of information containing multiple fields (for example, divisions) and wanting to share division-specific information without having to create 10+ reports to share.

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

This would be a great way to integrate the security groups that we create and manage ALREADY built into Teams and SharePoint. An integrated way to group and manage who can see what content across all platforms, including TAB LEVEL SECURITY is crucial for organized security across 365.

The Teams spaces ALREADY show up in my PowerBi Workspaces, and Teams all have automatic SharePoint for file storage, therefore integrated security across the platforms is the logical solution. How has this simple feature not been applied within the PowerBi Desktop as an option for who can view Tabs and other data security?

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

This is such basic and important feature, why isn't it already implemented?

RE: Page (Tab) level Security.

This is the same suggestion : https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16059178-page-tab-level-security?tracking_code=8e938ba227194d31336f3860dd08195e
So if you combine vote, this should be a priority.
