D365 On Cloud - Prevent user from printing report to Excel and Word

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 50

Hi Everyone,

I'm using BC on cloud.

I need your help and advice. Is there a way to prevent user to print report to certain format like excel or word ?

I believe this feature exist in On Premise where we can configure from BC instance. However is it possible to do it via normal way ?

If it's not able to do it on normal way, is there a way to do it by using customized report and how ?

Thank you.

    You could restrict access to the reports with permissions and use the scheduling feature as a none restricted user to pass finalised reports into the report inbox from there you can then use odata or a custom api page to take the report into Sharepoint or OneDrive for the user to pick up reports from there. I did it using power automate and explain it about 28mins into this video: https://youtu.be/pf6I0xLMjdg

    The saveas function is another possibility where you define the output type and remove all other reports from the UI with personalisation and permissions: docs.microsoft.com/.../report-saveas-method
