The cross (x) makes business users feel something is broken. A good Message like - "data for sales team hidden" etc would be beneficial.. Should display the visual something like "Restricted Data" instead of "something's wrong with one or more fields".

RE: OLS - Give a better message to users who don't have access

Yes. Broken Reports make users unhappy or even panicking. You cannot publish it this way!

comment in the notes:
It's a choice they made in Power BI. Technically it would be possible to remove the measures, but depending on the visual, the final result might be different. However, it's an implementation detail in Microsoft hands.
