Hide Inaccessible Data Actions in a Workbook from Consumers
When you configure the presentation settings for a workbook, you can specify whether you want consumers to see all available data actions in a workbook, or whether you only want them to see the ones that are accessible to them.
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 presentation setting under Data Actions to limit the data actions a consumer sees to only those that are accessible to them.
If you turn on this setting, it might impact performance when consumers open the workbook.
The Data Actions setting you set in the Workbook tab applies to all canvases in the workbook. It's carried over to the Active Canvas tab's Data Actions setting for each canvas. You can override the Workbook tab's Data Actions property for any individual canvas in the Active Canvas tab. See Hide Inaccessible Data Actions on a Canvas from Consumers.
