Publish to web button does not appear in Power BI Service


I'm trying to publish a Power BI report to the web, but the "Publish to web" option doesn't appear in the menu.

Here's what I did:

I followed this tutorial to create a professional email using Azure, and I granted the "Power Platform Administrator" role to the user.

I then enabled the Publish to web option in the Power BI Service Admin Portal:

However, the option still doesn't show up in the report menu:

Publish to web does not appear

I used this same approach back in 2022 and it worked fine. Has anything changed since then? Are there any new restrictions that could prevent this feature from showing up? Could there be something in the report itself (data source, features used) that disables the "Publish to web" option? Or do I now need to pay for a Power BI Pro license for this to work?


Solution

  • I found the solution myself.

    My report had Row-Level Security (RLS) enabled, which is not supported when using the "Publish to web" feature.

    To fix it, I simply removed the RLS roles (in my example "Europe", "North America" and "Pacific") from the report in Power BI Desktop (Report View --> Modeling --> Manage Roles):

    After re-uploading the report to Power BI Service, the "Publish to web" option became available.
