Hi Ruby,
It is possible to disable that option to save as spreadsheet for all non Admins in an application. This can be found by accessing the Application Settings and going into the App Settings header. Within that page you will find a section on Security options and specifically a checkbox for "Allow users who are not administrators to export data". When this is unchecked users who are not Admins will not get the option to save as spreadsheet. What can be confusing with that is if you are the Application Manager even if you test as that user or role you can still access Save as Spreadsheet as QB does recognize your Application Manager status. If you have another user test that role, or make use of a dummy user, you should see that the save as spreadsheet option does disappear for roles that do not have Admin permissions. I hope this information is helpful.
