Ensure 'Publish to web' is restricted

Why This Matters

The Power BI "Publish to web" feature creates publicly accessible links that require no authentication to view. This means any sensitive data, including detail-level report information, can be exposed to anyone on the internet without oversight. Disabling or tightly restricting this feature is critical to prevent unintentional data leaks of confidential or proprietary information.

What Aether365 Checks

This check verifies that the "Publish to web" setting in Power BI is either disabled or restricted to specific security groups with existing embed codes only. It appears in the Aether365 dashboard under the Microsoft 365 checks category.
