- 10. Discussion 11
- 11. Requirements • All in Premium (A, EM, P) • Workspace member to view content • Permission to create workspaces (if new) or workspaces created for you • Workspaces have new workspace experience enabled 12
- 12. 13 Permissions • Pipeline permissions and workspace permissions are granted and managed separately • Users with pipeline access have the following permissions: • View the pipeline • Share the pipeline with others • Edit and delete the pipeline • Pipeline access doesn't grant permissions to view or take actions on the workspace content 13 • Suggestions • Development workspace permissions = developers • Test workspace permissions = limited • Production workspace permissions = extremely limited • Pipeline permissions = deployment permissions • App permissions = viewers • Build permissions set in app or at dataset
- 13. Use cases Include • Full deployment • Selective deployment • Backwards deployment However… • Limitations • Utilizes premium resources whereas a shared workspace doesn’t have to • No method to revert to previous version 14
- 14. 15 Limitations • Premium workspaces required for all environments • Incremental refresh not supported • Sensitivity labels not supported • Workspace deployment limited to <300 items • Template apps not supported • Paginated reports • Dataflows not supported (Mar 2021) 15 • Downloading dataset from target workspace not supported • Limited data source rules • App contents and settings are not copied • Assign 1 workspace for 1 deployment pipeline ONLY • No rollback/versioning • Cannot assign all three to existing workspaces. • No approvals and notes – does not support compliance standards
- 15. 16 Best practices • Treat each workspace as a complete package of analytics • Plan your permission model • Connect different stages to different databases • Use parameters in your model • Development • Use Power BI Desktop to edit your reports and datasets • Version control for .pbix files • Separate modeling development from report and dashboard development • Manage your models using XMLA read/write capabilities 16 • Test • Simulate your production environment • Use dataset rules with a real-life data source • Measure performance • Check related items • Test your app • Production • Manage who can deploy to production • Set rules to ensure production stage availability • Update the production app • Quick fixes to content
- 16. Next release Scheduled March 2021 17
- 17. Other approaches • GitHub • SharePoint/OneDrive • Share in the chat 18

- Joining us today is…..Stephen Wullschleger Steve’s background in BI, operations and finance spans 30 years. During that time he has led numerous business analytics initiatives using Microsoft data tools and has watched the platform evolve from his initial use of version 1 of SQL Server and Microsoft Access. He brings a deep familiarity with the various capabilities and components of the Microsoft BI platform and understanding o f how to best leverage them.
- within the Power BI Premium environment.
- Workspaces can be moved to different capacities at any time – do not have to be on synonymous capacity A user with pipeline access that doesn't have workspace permissions, will be able to view the pipeline and share it with others. However, this user will not be able to view the content of the workspace in the pipeline, or in the workspace page, and will not be able to perform deployments.
- Full deployment to move all content from one environment to another Selective deployment allows for multi-developer environment Backwards deployment – have an existing workspace in production to create pipeline Shared workspace does not utilize resources – premium development workspace does No method to revert to previous version – continue utilizing OneDrive/SharePoint/Teams versioning for example Use parameters to alter dev/test/prod parameter values
- Premium workspaces required for all environments Can be A/EM SKU Can be across SKU(s) Power BI items such as reports and dashboards that have Power BI sensitivity labels, cannot be deployed. The maximum number of Power BI items that can be deployed in a single deployment is 300. Datasets that are configured with incremental refresh, cannot be deployed. Datasets that use real-time data connectivity cannot be deployed. During deployment, if the target dataset is using a live connection, the source dataset must use this connection mode too. After deployment, downloading a dataset (from the stage its been deployed to) is not supported. Dataset rules = change source from x to y (i.e. dev to test, test to prod) or change parameters
