Govern your Power BI environment

It is easy to start with Power BI, but a new challenge arises as soon as reports are shared: Managing your Power BI environment. Certainly when more and more colleagues - independently of each other - start building reports. If you are not careful, you lose control over security, governance, privacy, data quality, and metadata. This all comes at the expense of the quality of the reports and analyses.

The training is intended for anyone who manages Power BI environment(s). These can be admins, but certainly also people responsible for governance, developers, and consultants who must help their organization set up the reporting environment within Power BI or maybe Fabric.

Fabric is something we will also look at. Fabric is enabled for everyone, but you may not use it yet. This training covers everything you need to know to maintain a Power BI environment, with or without Fabric features. We walk through all the features and how you can best configure them according to the best practices. But you're not done yet because you also want to keep control while people are using Power BI. So, we also look at monitoring and activity logs.

Topics during this training are the admin portal, security options, licensing, premium capacity management, Fabric, deployment pipelines, data governance, sharing options, and monitoring.

After this course, you'll have a deep understanding of:
· Admin portal, including tenant settings and controlling your On-premises data gateway.
· Security options within Power BI. Dealing with groups, users and permissions, data protection, and row-level security.
· Licensing. Differences between Fabric, free, Pro-license, PPU-licence, and Premium licensing.
· Premium capacity management.
· Development best practices. Projects (.pbip), Git integration, deployment pipelines, and re-usability. Both use Premium or Pro licensing.
· Data Governance. Purview hub, domains, sensitivity labels, and more.
· Monitoring your Power BI environment.
· Sharing options and how to keep control of it as an admin.

Microsoft Fabric Domains - First step towards a data mesh architecture

Microsoft has introduced a new concept with Fabric: Domains. Domains are more than a logical container of Fabric items. It introduces the data mesh architecture in Fabric, where, among other things, federated governance is the starting point. Workspaces, security, and other management functions are also taken into account.

In this session, we introduce Domains to Microsoft Fabric. How do we use this and maintain domains? And what do you experience as a user? What impact does this have on the permission structure within Fabric artifacts? This way, at the end of the session, you will know whether domains suit your organization and can get started immediately.

Key takeaways:
- Understand and explain the concepts of domains
- How to implement and manage domains, especially related to workplaces
- What is the impact on Fabric users

In this session, we introduce Domains to Microsoft Fabric. How do we use this and maintain domains? And what do you experience as a user? What impact does this have on the permission structure within Fabric artifacts? This way, at the end of the session, you will know whether domains suit your organization and can get started immediately.

Govern your data in Fabric

Microsoft Fabric has a range of capabilities to help you maintain control over your data. This is a must with the many artifacts such as reports, datasets, data pipelines, and lakehouse. But how can you use the possibilities that Fabric offers you in the field of data governance?

If you want to get started with Fabric and are curious about how you, as an organization, can keep control over your data, then this session is for you.

In this demo-rich session, we'll look at how to manage your data in Fabric. The session is intended for anyone involved in managing a Fabric environment.

Key takeaways:
- Understand and explain the key data management capabilities in Fabric, such as domains, sensitivity labels, scanner API, and impact analysis
- How to implement scenarios for information protection, metadata scanning, federated governance, and more
- How to configure a central data governance environment across the different components

If you want to get started with Fabric and are curious about how you, as an organization, can keep control over your data, then this session is for you.

Advanced data security implementation for Power BI

Are you facing data security issues? Then, there is a good chance that row-level security (RLS) alone will not get you there. The question is more complex than the possibilities that RLS offers.

What if a manager is only allowed to see the average absenteeism of another department but at the personal level of his department? And another colleague is allowed to see the names but not the email address or other sensitive data? And if this differs between domains (employee, client, finance)?

We explore all the aspects you need to know to fully implement data security in Power BI, based on previous implementations. Yes, RLS is one of them, but we need to look at object-level security (OLS), audiences, active directory (Microsoft Entra), and a well-defined data model to support this.

I know, you have to see it work first! So this session has a lot of demos.

Key takeaways:
- Understand and define different data security scenarios
- When and how to configure RLS, OLS, audiences, active directory, and the data model according to your scenario
- How to deal with advanced data security scenarios
- Additional data security for building end-user reports
