Selected Answer: A

- Selective visibility: When publishing an app, you can choose exactly which reports and dashboards to include—so you can publish RPT1, RPT2, and DB1, while excluding RPT3. - Read-only access: App users cannot create new content or build on the semantic model (SM1), which satisfies the requirement to prevent report/dashboard creation. - No reshare rights: App viewers cannot share the content with others unless explicitly allowed. - Low admin overhead: You manage access and permissions centrally through the app, which is far more efficient than managing individual report shares.

✅ A. Publish an app. Explanation: Publishing an app in Power BI allows you to control which reports and dashboards are accessible to a specific audience while keeping administrative effort minimal. This approach meets all the given requirements: ✅ Group1 can view RPT1, RPT2, and DB1 (you can include only these reports in the app). ✅ Group1 is prevented from viewing RPT3 (since RPT3 will not be included in the app). ✅ Group1 cannot create new reports or dashboards using SM1 (viewers of the app cannot modify the dataset). ✅ Group1 cannot share reports and dashboards (app viewers cannot share content). ✅ Minimal administrative effort (you only need to manage access to the app instead of configuring individual report permissions).

Publishing an app allows you to selectively include RPT1, RPT2, and DB1 while excluding RPT3. This approach prevents Group1 from creating new reports and dashboards using SM1 and from sharing the content with other users. Additionally, it minimizes administrative effort by providing a centralized way to manage access.

C is the answer: Store PBIX files in a shared folder in Microsoft OneDrive. because the Group 1 will only view RPT1,RPT2 and DB1. A is wrong because it require an administrative effort. B is also wrong because viewer role will allow Group1 to read all reports in the workspace even RPT3 which is against the requirement. D also needs administrative effort. Therefore C is the correct answer in this context .

Another explanation is: you can configure a shared folder in Microsoft One Drive to prevent users from creating new content or sharing it with other users, by adjusting the permission levels assigned to the folder; if you only give users "Read" access to a shared folder, they can only view existing files and cannot creates new ones or further share that content with others. So "Read" access can only view files within the folder, no create new ones or share them further, while "Edit" access can view, edit, and share files within the folder. So C Store PBIX files in a shared folder in Microsoft One Drive is the correct answer.

Selected Answer: A

• Group1 must view specific reports and dashboards (RPT1, RPT2, DB1): • Publishing an app allows you to share selected reports and dashboards with specific groups or users. • Group1 must be prevented from viewing RPT3: • Apps allow fine-grained control, so you can exclude RPT3 from the app content. • Group1 must not create new reports or dashboards or share content: • When users access content via an app, they cannot edit or create new reports/dashboards or share the app itself. • Minimize administrative effort: • Publishing an app is simpler and more manageable than other options.
