Overview -

Existing environment -
Litware, Inc. is a retail company that sells outdoor recreational goods and accessories. The company sells goods both online and its stores located in six countries.

Azure Resources -
Litware has the following Azure resources:
An Azure Synapse Analytics workspace named synapseworkspace1
An Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named datalake1 that is associated with synapseworkspace1
A Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool named SQLDW

Dedicated SQL Pool -
SQLDW contains a dimensional model that contains the following tables.


SQLDW contains the following additional tables.


SQLDW contains a view named dbo.CustomerPurchases that creates a distinct list of values from dbo.Customer [customerID], dbo.Customer [CustomerEmail], dbo.Product [ProductID] and dbo.Product [ProductName].
The sales data in SQLDW is updated every 30 minutes. Records in dbo.SalesTransactions are updated in SQLDW up to three days after being created. The records do NOT change after three days.

Power BI -
Litware has a new Power BI tenant that contains an empty workspace named Sales Analytics.
All users have Power BI Premium per user licenses.
IT data analytics are workspace administrators. The IT data analysts will create datasets and reports.
A single imported dataset will be created to support the company’s sales analytics goals. The dataset will be refreshed every 30 minutes.

Requirements -

Analytics Goals -
Litware identifies the following analytics goals:
Provide historical reporting of sales by product and channel over time.
Allow sales managers to perform ad hoc sales reporting with minimal effort.
Perform market basket analysis to understand which products are commonly purchased in the same transaction.
Identify which customers should receive promotional emails based on their likelihood of purchasing promoted products.
Litware plans to monitor the adoption of Power BI reports over time. The company wants custom Power BI usage reporting that includes the percent change of users that view reports in the Sales Analytics workspace each month.

Security Requirements -
Litware identifies the following security requirements for the analytics environment:
All the users in the sales department and the marketing department must be able to see Power BI reports that contain market basket analysis and data about which customers are likely to purchase a product.
Customer contact data in SQLDW and the Power BI dataset must be labeled as Sensitive. Records must be kept of any users that use the sensitive data.
Sales associates must be prevented from seeing the CustomerEmail column in Power BI reports.
Sales managers must be prevented from modifying reports created by other users.
Development Process Requirements
Litware identifies the following development process requirements:
SQLDW and datalake1 will act as the development environment. Once feature development is complete, all entities in synapseworkspace1 will be promoted to a test workspace, and then to a production workspace.
Power BI content must be deployed to test and production by using deployment pipelines.
All SQL scripts must be stored in Azure Repos.
The IT data analysts prefer to build Power BI reports in Synapse Studio.
You need to configure the Sales Analytics workspace to meet the ad hoc reporting requirements.
What should you do?

  • A. Grant the sales managers the Build permission for the existing Power BI datasets.
  • B. Grant the sales managers admin access to the existing Power BI workspace.
  • C. Create a deployment pipeline and grant the sales managers access to the pipeline.
  • D. Create a PBIT file and distribute the file to the sales managers.

A is Correct, Template file will require data loading and will lead to separate Power BI dataset and reports. To minmize the effort, should give users build access to existing dataset.

I think it should be "A". Build permission for the existing Power BI datasets. This will reduce the effort for managers, more secure than template which will lead to different dataset/refresh cycle, etc. They can create their own reports from same dataset and have nothing to do with allowing them to change the dataset or any other reports.

By creating a deployment pipeline, you can establish a controlled and standardized process for promoting Power BI content from the development environment to the test and production workspaces. Granting the sales managers access to the pipeline allows them to deploy their own ad hoc reports while adhering to the development process requirements. This ensures that the reports go through the proper testing and production stages.

Correct Answer : C. Create a deployment pipeline and grant the sales managers access to the pipeline. Explanation: Creating a deployment pipeline is a recommended approach to deploy Power BI content to different environments, such as the test and production workspaces. By setting up a deployment pipeline, you can ensure a standardized and automated process for deploying Power BI reports and dashboards. Granting sales managers access to the pipeline allows them to initiate and manage the deployment of Power BI content themselves, enabling ad hoc reporting with minimal effort. This empowers sales managers to access the necessary reports and perform ad hoc analysis as per their requirements, without needing direct access to the development or production workspaces.

The requirement is regarding to the "workspace" so, it clearly the "A". Building permission allow them to create reports without affecting the previous one and you could avoid additional effort. Link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-build-permissions

Selected Answer: D
It says: "Sales managers must be prevented from modifying reports created by other users." So, a PBIT (...a template) would do the trick. So, D.

1. Using the Build feature, users would still be creating their own separate reports and individual reports will be unaffected. 2. Business requirements says a single imported dataset will be used and refreshed every 30 minutes. 3. For ad-hoc reporting, it is not recommended to distribute pbit files among all a long lisy of users. Hence, Build permissions is the most feasible answer I can think of.
