Power BI Premium Best Practices

[Kuberkumark]

Hi All,

What are the best practices for setting up Power BI Premium if planning to deploy Dashboards with PII Information.

Could you please share.

Power BI Premium is the next logical step if you’re looking to extend Power BI capabilities to enterprise-level performance and scale and it will unlock features that are not available in Power BI Pro. With Power BI Premium, you can leverage the paginated report capabilities of Power BI Report Builder, run an on-premise Power BI Report server and isolate workspaces for geo-targeting, compliance and improved performance. And Premium enables widespread distribution of content by Pro users without requiring Pro licenses for those who view the content. But, performance problems abound for those who do not properly govern their Power BI Premium deployment.

HI @Kuberkumark ,

Premium is a licensing model for setting up Power BI and may allow you to give more users access but you still have control over what users can and can't see.  You and/or your organization needs to decide on how you are going to share information with users and which users can access what data.  This might be by only giving the vast majority of users App access only (with no ability to get to underlying data or reports).  You can also use sensitive labels on your data/reports/apps or you can use RLS.  

I found this little site with a video on some of the security aspects for Power BI for sensitive data.  Data protection in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
