Power BI Clusters

Power BI operates within Microsoft Azure and consists of two main clusters: the Web Front End (WFE) and the Back-End cluster. The WFE handles initial connection and authentication, while the Back-End manages data storage and operations.

Study Notes

Power Platform Administration and Security

  • Power Platform is a collection of services (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents, etc.) hosted on Microsoft Azure as a SaaS product. Each tool has its own portal.
  • Power Platform security leverages Azure services, including Azure Active Directory (AAD) for user accounts and licensing.
  • Security roles and multi-factor authentication can be configured via Azure's Identity and Access Management (IAM) service and can be managed by Microsoft 365 admin center.
  • Power Platform tools operate independently with their own security architectures.
  • Power BI security controls access by sharing content (dashboards, reports, etc.) with specific users. Users must be authenticated and authorized before they can access Power BI.
  • Power BI uses a two-cluster architecture: Web Front End (WFE) and Back-End.
  • The WFE cluster handles initial user connections, authentication using AAD, and obtaining security tokens; it directs the user to the correct Back-End cluster.
  • The Back-End cluster stores Power BI data and performs various operations for authenticated users.
  • Access to Power BI is managed through the Gateway Role. The Gateway Role and API Management are publicly accessible modules that manage user connections, authorize access, and relay requests to other modules.
  • A typical Power BI user interaction involves authentication, authorization, and browser connections to WFE and Back-End clusters.
  • The user's browser connects to the Back-End cluster via the Gateway, which sends the request to the Presentation Role responsible for visualizing dashboard data.
  • The Presentation Role sends data back to the Gateway Role, which relays it to the user's browser for display.

Microsoft Dataverse Security Roles

  • Security roles are a key element in Microsoft Dataverse for controlling access to data.
  • Administrators within the Power Platform can create and assign roles to users, directly influencing access permissions within Dataverse.
  • These roles dictate what users can view and modify within Dataverse, thus securing and managing data access across the platform.

Azure Identity Services

  • Azure Active Directory (AAD) forms the core of Azure Identity Services, providing user accounts, licenses, and authentication for Power Platform tools.
  • AAD is crucial for user identity management, authorization, and licensing within the overall Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem.
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM) features in AAD offer administrators control over authentication methods, security roles, and user permissions. This encompasses aspects like multi-factor authentication and single sign-on.
