Question on General Power BI - Lock Down Object
I usually use the lock down object option in my power bi dashboards so users can not accidentally move around the objects and mess up the view but I realized that feature applies to only the objects on the dashboard.
I also didn’t want users to be able to change existing formulas, edit any written text etc but realized the lock down object can not prevent this from happening.
I would like to know if there is any way of preventing any changes or editing by users and consumers of my power bi desktop file.
Thanks,

Hello Sam,
I would like to design in Power BI the below model template report for Budgeting & Forecasting step by step from the beginning (raw data excel):
"Variance Analysis"
- Data (Product, Customer, Sales Channel etc)
- Time Period (Year, Quarter, Month)
- Figures Numbers (Actual, Budget, Estimate, Last Year)
- Variances (vs Budget, vs Estimate, vs LY) - absolute numbers
- Variances (vs Budget, vs Estimate, vs LY) - percentages
Which course do you suggest to me, as the appropriate, to attend that it matches perfect with the above one?
Thanks,
Sotiris
