Hide Inaccessible Data Actions on a Canvas from Consumers in Present

When you design a presentation flow, each canvas inherits the Show Accessible Only property you set in the Workbook tab. You can use the Active Canvas tab to override this property that's set for the workbook and show or hide inaccessible data actions for individual canvases.

Accessible data actions are those that a consumer can invoke successfully. If a consumer tries to invoke a data action that takes them to a workbook, analysis, dashboard, or report that they don't have access to, they'll get an error and the data action won't work.

To improve your consumers' experience, you can use the Show Accessible Only property under Data Actions in Present to limit the data actions a consumer sees to only those that are accessible to them.

If you turn on this property, it might impact performance when consumers open the workbook.

To set the Show Accessible Only property for the entire workbook, see Hide Inaccessible Data Actions in a Workbook from Consumers in Present.
