A Power BI administrator needs to enforce that all datasets published to the service use certified data sources only. Which two settings should be configured? (Choose two.)
2You are a Power BI administrator. A user reports that their scheduled data refresh fails with error 'The data source credentials are no longer valid.' The dataset uses a SQL Server database with Windows authentication. What should you do first to resolve the issue?
3Which THREE components must be in place to enable Power BI data sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview? (Select exactly three.)
4You have a Power BI workspace that contains a report connected to an Azure Analysis Services (AAS) model. The data source uses Single Sign-On (SSO) with Microsoft Entra ID. When users access the report, they see an error that the data cannot be refreshed. What is the most likely cause?
5Your organization uses Microsoft Purview Information Protection to label sensitive data in Power BI datasets. You need to ensure that when a report is exported to Excel, the sensitivity label is automatically applied. What should you configure?
6You have a Power BI dataset that uses a DirectQuery connection to Azure Synapse Analytics. Users report that the report is slow. You need to improve query performance without changing the data source. What should you do?
7You need to grant a user the ability to manage permissions on a Power BI workspace but not to view or edit the content. What minimum role should you assign?
8Which TWO methods can you use to share a Power BI report with external users who do not have a Power BI Pro license? (Choose two.)
9You need to ensure that only members of the 'Sales' security group can edit reports in the 'Sales Reports' workspace. The workspace currently has four members: three from Sales and one from Marketing. What should you do?
10You need to audit Power BI activities such as viewing reports, sharing dashboards, and exporting data. Which TWO actions should you take to enable and access audit logs? (Choose two.)
11Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing the configuration of a Power BI dataset with row-level security (RLS). A user named 'user@contoso.com' reports that they can see all data when they should see only data for their region. What is the most likely cause?
12Which THREE settings should you verify in the Power BI tenant admin portal to ensure that external users (guests) can access a published app?
13A company is deploying Power BI for the entire organization. They need to prevent users from sharing reports with external email addresses. Which configuration should the Power BI admin use?
14You are managing a Power BI environment that uses Microsoft Purview for data governance. You need to ensure that all new datasets automatically inherit sensitivity labels from their source data. What should you configure?
15You have a Power BI report that uses a DirectQuery dataset. You need to ensure that users see only the data relevant to their department. What should you implement?
16You need to ensure that a Power BI report published to the service can be embedded in a secure internal SharePoint Online page. Only authenticated users from your Microsoft Entra ID tenant should be able to view the report. What should you do?
17You are a Power BI administrator. You need to audit all activities related to sharing reports and dashboards in the Power BI service. Which tool should you use?
18Which TWO of the following are valid methods to share a Power BI report with external users (outside your organization)? (Choose two.)
19Your organization uses Power BI Premium and wants to enforce that users can only see data relevant to their department (Sales, Marketing, Finance) using row-level security (RLS). The dataset contains a 'Department' column. You have created three RLS roles, each with a filter like [Department] = "Sales". You publish the dataset and add users to the roles. However, users in the Sales role can see all data. What is the most likely cause?
20A Power BI report uses a DirectQuery dataset connected to an Azure SQL Database. Users report that the report takes over 30 seconds to load. You need to improve performance without changing the data model. What should you recommend?
21You have a Power BI workspace named Sales. You need to ensure that only users in the Finance security group can view reports in this workspace, while members of the Sales team can edit and share content. What should you do?
22You manage a Power BI tenant. You need to prevent users from sharing reports with external users. Which THREE actions should you take?
