Power BI Dashboard for Orginization

[anoopcse]

Hi there,

I am looking to deploy Power BI Dashboard for a Govt sector Client. Would like to get some info:

There will be around 35 users who consume the dashboard, how effectively can we manage the users and their subscriptions ? The organization does not have office 365. Would like to know how can I get a customized URL for the Power BI portal for the Organization. Would like to have an admin console which can be accessed by an admin and assign the licenses and other power bi releated stuffs. Would need role based data restriction based on the Region attached to individual user. What would be the best licensing model in such scenario ?

Any inputs on this is much appreciated

Cheers,

Anoop

Hi @anoopcse,

Please find my answers to your questions below:

• The organization does not have office 365
  • You do not need Office 365 to sign up and user Power BI.
  • When you sign up it creates what is required for Power BI in an Azure Tenant.
• Would like to know how can I get a customized URL for the Power BI portal for the Organization.
  • Unfortunately the URL when you use the Power BI Service, is a standard one.
  • However if you want to Embed your Power BI Reports, you can do this under your own URL.
    • NOTE: This does require some additional programming.
• Would like to have an admin console which can be accessed by an admin and assign the licenses and other power bi releated stuffs.
  • Once you have signed up to Power BI, they do request in order to become and Admin that you enter a DNS record for your domain to prove that you own the domain.
  • Once that is validated, the first person who is doing this will become the Admin.
  • After which they can assign additional licenses and manage people.
• Would need role based data restriction based on the Region attached to individual user.
  • You can do this using Row Level Security. (See below)
• What would be the best licensing model in such scenario ?
  • As from your question above, if you wanted to use Row Level Security (RLS) that is a Pro feature, which would then cost the USD $10 per user per month.

I hope that helps.

Gilbert
