- C
Apply labels automatically using Microsoft Purview Information Protection.
Automatic labeling can be configured based on content.
- D
Require users to apply sensitivity labels when publishing reports.
Admin portal has a setting 'Require sensitivity label'.
- E

Answer choices
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
✓
Apply labels automatically using Microsoft Purview Information Protection.
Options C and D are correct. An admin can enforce sensitivity labels by requiring users to apply labels when publishing reports (option D) in the admin portal setting 'Mandatory labeling'. Additionally, labels can be applied automatically using Microsoft Purview Information Protection (option C) via auto-labeling policies. Option A is incorrect because Intune policies are not used to block unlabeled reports in Power BI; mandatory labeling is configured in the Power BI admin portal. Option B is incorrect because default labels in Power BI Desktop are not enforced by the admin; they are client-side settings. Option E is incorrect because row-level security controls data access, not sensitivity label enforcement.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

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 company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
