Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set a default sensitivity label for the workspace in the workspace settings.
The correct option is A: setting a default sensitivity label for the workspace in the workspace settings. In Power BI, a workspace admin can assign a default sensitivity label at the workspace level, so any new report or dataset created in that workspace automatically inherits that label without user action, which fits the requirement that all reports be labeled automatically on creation. Option B does not fit because Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policies apply to supported workloads like Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive, not directly to Power BI workspace-created items. Option C is incorrect because a tenant-wide default label is not the mechanism for per-workspace automatic labeling of new reports. Option D is incorrect because manual labeling by users is not automatic and would not guarantee consistent labeling.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set a default sensitivity label for the workspace in the workspace settings.
Why this is correct
Setting a default sensitivity label in the workspace settings is the correct, administrator-controlled method. Any new report created in that workspace inherits this label automatically, and users can still change it if they have appropriate permissions. This meets the requirement without relying on user discipline.
- ✗
Configure a Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policy for the workspace.
Why it's wrong here
A Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policy is designed to inspect and label documents sent to cloud storage services using sensitive data classification, but it is not scoped to a single Power BI workspace. Power BI content is not scanned by such policies in the same way, and the policy would not apply only to your target workspace. Therefore it fails the 'all reports in this workspace' requirement.
- ✗
Set the default sensitivity label for the entire Power BI tenant.
Why it's wrong here
Configuring a tenant-wide default sensitivity label would apply the label to every new item in every Power BI workspace, including ones that should remain unlabeled, creating compliance/governance issues. The requirement is scoped to reports in one workspace, so a broader tenant-level setting is over-intrusive and not the correct granular action.
- ✗
Instruct all users to manually apply the sensitivity label when creating reports.
Why it's wrong here
Asking users to manually apply the label during report creation is not an automatic enforcement mechanism; it depends on user compliance and can easily be forgotten, leading to unlabeled reports. Administrators need a deterministic, label-based policy to ensure all reports are labeled, not a training-based approach.
