Chapter 5. Deploying and Maintaining Power BI Solutions
This chapter covers relevant topics at an appropriate level and depth for the assessment exam. The Power BI service enables organizations to securely publish, manage, and share content, offering flexible access and delivery options. Reports, dashboards, semantic models, and other assets can be accessed via workspaces, shared directly, or embedded into platforms like SharePoint, Teams, and custom applications using secure or public links. Access permissions are managed through workspace roles and row-level security (RLS), with user access roles offering different levels of control.
You can publish content via Power BI Desktop, APIs, or advanced tools, and items can be organized in workspace apps for targeted audiences. Dashboards and scorecards consolidate key visuals and metrics, while features like subscriptions and alerts automate notifications. Governance is enforced with sensitivity labels, endorsements, and integration with Microsoft Purview for data protection.
