When sharing a dasboard, add the option to select the accessibility level to reports as to ensure that only pertinent data would be shared and that entirety of tiles present in Reports is not visible unless stated so.

RE: Set the access to reports as optional.

This is a crucial improvement for me.

In my use case I have:
- A number of very varied data sources
- A set of internal customers with very different reporting requirements, but all fundamentally based on subsets of the same data sources.
- A requirement to update the reports every couple of weeks.

I currently have one BI Desktop File which contains the full reporting suite. I refresh the data as required and publish the report which updates the live tiles on the dashboards for all the internal customers.

This currently exposes all the data in the reports to any of these customers who click through to the report.

My customers have no need to see the report. The dashboard fulfils their purposes.
The current set-up, however, prevents me from including data in the reports that we would not want to be visible to all users of any of the reports.

As my set of internal customers grows, I would like to expand the 'core reporting suite', rather than having to produce multiple BI Desktop reports.

I would like the option to share the dashboard only.
