Securing and Protecting Content in Power BI (Hybrid Virtual UG)

Presentation topic: Securing and Protecting Content in Power BI

Presentation description: 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

The primary focus of this session is on security settings that self-service content creators and owners can directly manage in the Power BI Service. We won't spend a lot of time discussing security aspects that are managed by system administrators for the entire tenant. We won't be covering the security model for Power BI Report Server or content embedded in other applications.
