Melissa is going to talk about “What You Need to Know to Administer Power BI”

The Power BI administrator is a very high privilege role which includes a wide breadth of responsibilities. Some administration activities apply consistently for every organization, whereas others depend on how Power BI is being used for self-service and corporate business intelligence initiatives. Each organization’s needs related to security, governance, auditing, and data management influence the scope of responsibilities for a Power BI administrator. This session will cover considerations for effectively overseeing a Power BI implementation, as well as suggestions for what to focus on.
