Password Protect Excel Files in OTBI for Scheduled Reports

Option to password protect excel files in OTBI for scheduled reports

Use Case and Business Need

With all the new and upcoming GDPR regulations, I would like the ability to secure (password protect) all the reoccurring reports that are being automatically sent to our employees inbox via OTBI. I have searched the community and found a user (Thank you Gary Miller) who has the same business need. Based on the response in that thread, it seems this is only available for PDF files which is not ideal for our business. All of our reports are scheduled to deliver via an Excel file not PDF.  

This would be a huge value add to our global business, keep us compliant with GDPR regulations and will be a huge time saver for our system administrators who are doing this manually today.
