Password Protect PBIX or Lock File for Editing
Hi All
Is there a way to password protect a pbix file (or lock it) so users cannot fiddle with the measures or layout used for the report?
Been checking across the web, but have not found a solution - not even sure whether it is possible.
Any guidance or advice would be highly appreciated!
Kind regards, Leon

@LeonW Nope, that’s not possible with PBIX, passwords are not safe and most of them can be easily broken, that’s why you have Power BI service for collaboration.
Thank you @AntrikshSharma - Noted
Yup - Found a way:
See these articles:
Tested the method noted in the LinkedIn article and it works just fine.
Kindly note that my customer does not want to use this method for data security / data protection or collaboration - That is what the Pro/Premium service is there for, as noted by @AntrikshSharma
