 Hi all,
 
My administrator is blocking my download of PowerBi Desktop.
 
Can I get through without it?
 
Regards
Brett

    You can skip the BI module, but a quick call with your IT should fix the issue.

    Just following up on this, if you have any more queries.
    For housekeeping, please mark the post as answered, if you have no more queries.

    No, if the Admin has blocked it you should never do things like put it on disk, cd, thumbrive. these can severely impact the security of your network. Get an exemption.

    Hi Brett,
     
    This sounds related to your other post here.
     
     
    In answer to your specific question, you can follow the content of the Power BI module without access to Power BI desktop.
     
    In terms of the Final App challenge, so long as you do well in fulfilling the remaining requirements of the challenge, you can still pass.
