Study Notes
Power BI Premium Security
- Power BI Premium provides a dedicated back-end cluster in the same data center as the tenant.
- This cluster contains roles like the Gateway Role, Data Role, and Job Processing Role, plus an Azure SQL Database.
- All communication with the Premium cluster goes through a shared back-end cluster, routing traffic to the Gateway Role within the Premium cluster.
- The Presentation Role (and other back-end roles) are protected from direct internet access.
Power BI Data Security
- Power BI designers need separate credentials to connect to data sources.
- Designer credentials are then used to access/update data, even when shared with others.
- Designers are responsible for ensuring user access to sensitive data when sharing content.
Power BI Data Storage
- Power BI uses Azure Blob storage for large, unstructured data (e.g., Excel imports).
- Azure SQL Database stores other data types, including user information, workspaces, dashboards, and reports.
Data Access Methods
- Import: Data is accessed from a file (e.g., Excel).
- DirectQuery: Data is accessed by referencing an external source (e.g., SharePoint, database).
Data Processing
- Imported data is read into an Analysis Services in-memory database (up to 1-hour retention, encrypted in Azure Blob).
- DirectQuery data is stored in Analysis Services only while the process accessing it is active; when at rest, it's stored encrypted in Azure Blob or Azure SQL.
Power Apps Security
- Power Apps uses Azure Active Directory authentication and licensing to control access to the portal and specific apps.
- Administrators can assign Power Apps licenses, and regulate access with features like Azure tools and Intune policies.
- Environments have built-in roles (Environment Admin, Environment Maker) for administrative tasks.
- Developers can share apps with other Azure AD users (standard or co-owner).
- Co-owners can edit and share, but not delete or change ownership.
- Environments are isolated containers for apps, flows, and data; they are region-specific.
- Data connections used by apps require appropriate user credentials.
Power Automate Security
- Power Automate requires authentication credentials for connectors to external services.
- User share options (co-owners, run-only users) impact credential access.
- Co-owners have full access to existing connections, while run-only users have controlled access based on the creator's choice or themselves.
