Security and Administration for Power BI Service

Security and administration of the Power BI Service is an important part of Power BI’s overall security architecture. Power BI provides a range of security features and permissions to ensure that data is kept secure and accessible only to authorized users.

Overview of security features and permissions

Power BI provides a range of security features and permissions that can help to ensure that data is kept secure and accessible only to authorized users. These features include:

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Power BI allows administrators to assign specific roles to users, allowing them to access only the data and features that they need to do their jobs.

  • Data privacy: Power BI allows administrators to set data privacy policies and controls to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. • Encryption: Power BI provides encryption of data both at rest and in transit.

  • Multi-factor authentication: Power BI provides additional security by requiring users to authenticate themselves with more than one factor.

How to manage user access and data privacy

Power BI administrators can manage user access and data privacy by setting up role-based access control (RBAC) and data privacy policies. RBAC allows administrators to assign specific roles to users, allowing them to access only the data and features that they need to do their jobs. Data privacy policies allow administrators to set rules for who can access what data, as well as which data can be shared outside of the organization.
