Description

Even if inside the Spotfire Analyst >> Tools Menu >> Options >> Table >> 'Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients' is unchecked but still the export option is enabled inside the Spotfire Web Player.

Just to take note that for every individual "Table Visualization", there is an option of "Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients". This option is present in  Table Visualization >> Properties >> Appearance >> "Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients".

Below are the few scenarios: 

A) Consider the above option is enabled for all of the "Table Visualizations" in the analysis file and the Spotfire Analyst >> Tools Menu >> Options >> Table >> Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients is unchecked. Then in the Web Player, on marking any of the data tables we see that the option in the top Menu >> Export >> Table is enabled.

B) Consider the above option is enabled for just one of the "Table Visualizations" in the analysis file and the Spotfire Analyst >> Tools Menu >> Options >> Table >> Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients is unchecked. Then in the Web Player, on marking that particular data table we see that the option in the top menu >> Export >> Table is enabled but, if we mark the data in any other data table then the top menu >> Export >> Table is disabled.

Resolution

Even if the Spotfire Analyst>> Tools Menu >> Options >> Table >> Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients is unchecked, it is not the case that this option will be disabled in the Web Player completely but will be enabled/disabled according to the individual settings made for the individual "Table Visualization".

Thus it can be seen that the individual "Table Visualization" Properties >> Appearance >> Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients setting takes precedence over the Tools >> Options >> Table >> Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients.

Thus in order to disable the top Menu >> Export >> Table completely in the Web Player we need to disable the "Allow table data export in Spotfire Web Clients" for all the individual Table Visualizations in the analysis file.
