The correct answer is to set a default sensitivity label for the workspace in the workspace settings. This configuration works because Power BI allows administrators or workspace owners to define a baseline label that is automatically applied to any new report or dataset created within that specific workspace, ensuring consistent protection without manual user intervention. On the PL-300 exam, this question tests your understanding of the difference between workspace-level defaults, tenant-wide defaults, and Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policies—a common trap is confusing the workspace default with the tenant default, which applies globally rather than to a single department workspace. To remember this, think of the workspace as a folder with a stamp: every new document inside gets stamped automatically, while the tenant default is the stamp for the entire filing cabinet.
PL-300 Manage and secure Power BI Practice Question
This PL-300 practice question tests your understanding of manage and secure power bi. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A Power BI administrator needs to ensure that all reports in a workspace are labeled with a sensitivity label automatically when created. The workspace is used by multiple departments. What should the administrator configure?
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.
Option D is correct because Power BI supports automatic labeling via default labels at the workspace level, which can be set by administrators or workspace owners. Option A is wrong because manual labeling is not automatic. Option B is wrong because Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policies apply to the service as a whole, not per workspace. Option C is wrong because the tenant default label applies to all workspaces, not a specific one.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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
Workspace-level default labels automatically apply to all new items in that workspace.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
Configure a Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policy for the workspace.
Why it's wrong here
Purview auto-labeling policies apply to data at rest in the service, not specifically to new reports in a workspace.
✗
Set the default sensitivity label for the entire Power BI tenant.
Why it's wrong here
Tenant default labels apply to all workspaces, not just one.
✗
Instruct all users to manually apply the sensitivity label when creating reports.
Why it's wrong here
Manual labeling is not automatic and may be forgotten.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
