Exam PL-900 topic 1 question 86 discussion

Answer is D

I just passed today 2/2023 with a 900, and I can say with 100 certainty that the correct answer is D, Workspace. The reason I can say that is because "Publish an app" wasn't even one of the available answers to choose.

The Question: You create a set of dashboards and reports for a project team THAT COMBINES DATA FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES IN POWER BI. Some of the data is considered sensitive. You need to distribute the dashboards and reports securely to the team. ---Read the part of the question i put in all caps. The project team is working with the data, not just consuming it like with an app. You can only do this in a workspace. Any questions?

D would be right

d security

I feel like sensitive data could be a keyword for workspace

My thoughts would be: key word = distribute, this is done via publish app, otherwise if this was only to be shared and collaborated on, workspaces would be the answer

The correct answer is B. a published app. In Power BI, you can create a published app to distribute dashboards and reports securely. A published app is a collection of dashboards, reports, and datasets in Power BI that are bundled together and published to Power BI service or Power BI Report Server, where colleagues can consume it. You can specify permissions to restrict access, making it a secure way to share sensitive data. Please note that while a Power BI workspace (option D) is also a collaborative space where you can work with your colleagues to create collections of dashboards and reports, it doesn’t inherently provide the same level of secure distribution as a published app. Options A and C are not directly related to secure distribution of dashboards and reports.

Answer is D

Answer is D

D. a Power BI Workspace Explanation: A Power BI workspace is a collaborative environment where you can securely work with your colleagues on dashboards and reports. You can control access to the workspace, ensuring that only authorized team members can view or edit the sensitive data. Workspaces allow you to group related reports and dashboards together and manage permissions at a granular level, which is crucial for handling sensitive data.

B is not in exam

Answer D Workspaces allow you to assign roles to individuals, and also to user groups such as security groups, Microsoft 365 groups, and distribution lists. To grant access to a workspace, assign one of the following workspace roles to a user group or individuals: Admin, Member, Contributor, or Viewer.

Workspace - is used for dashboard, report creation, and maintenance collaboratively with the team. While, Power BI App is used to package and 'distribute' a collection of dashboard, reports and datasets to audience even outside of the workspace. Key word is to 'distribute'. So the answer is choice B.

Answer D

B. a published app. If the report is better consumed with related reports or dashboards that you need to distribute to many colleagues, then publishing an app is likely the best choice. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-how-to-collaborate-distribute-dashboards-reports

Slint's reply shows that D is the correct option
