About this chapter
What this chapter covers
A report is useful only when the right people can open it, the data is fresh and nobody sees what they should not. This domain is worth 15 to 20 percent of the exam. It covers workspaces, apps and dashboards, ways to distribute content, subscriptions and alerts, endorsement, gateways and scheduled refresh, and securing content with roles, item permissions, row level security and sensitivity labels.
Questions ask who needs what access, and which setting gives exactly that and no more.
How the topics fit together
- Workspaces, apps and dashboards covers creating workspaces, publishing, apps with audiences and choosing a distribution method.
- Subscriptions, alerts, endorsement, gateways and refresh covers keeping content discoverable, trusted and up to date.
- Roles, access, row level security and labels covers workspace roles, item and semantic model permissions, RLS and sensitivity labels.
Security questions have a pattern. Pick the narrowest permission that does the job, and remember that RLS only restricts the Viewer role.
