Details
This is an extended 3-hour session which includes 2 hours content, a 15-minute break, and 45 minutes for Q&A.
The Power BI Service has a few different ways you can secure and protect content. We’ll discuss and demonstrate options for securing content in ways that balance efficiency, risk reduction, and user flexibility. This session includes lots of demos and practical tips throughout. A few key concepts we'll cover include:
- How security needs affect the workspace design approach
- When to use app permissions vs. workspace roles vs. per-item sharing
- How security settings are inherited
- How sharing links work
- How direct access sharing works
- Ways to use app audiences
- When to use the 'build' or 'write' permission for a dataset
- How the 'discoverable' setting for a dataset is helpful
- How the 'request access' workflow works
- When row-level security is necessary
- How data protection correlates with security
