PL-300 Manage and secure Power BI Practice Question

This PL-300 practice question tests your understanding of manage and secure power bi. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.

Your organization uses Power BI in a shared capacity model. A report developer complains that a new report published to a workspace does not appear in the 'My workspace' area. They have the Contributor role on the workspace. What is the most likely cause?

Clue words in this question

Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.

  • Clue: "most likely"

    Why it matters: Probability qualifier — the question wants the most probable cause or outcome, not a guaranteed one. Eliminate low-probability options.

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

Reports published to a workspace do not appear in 'My workspace' unless the user manually saves a copy there.

Option C is correct because reports published to a workspace appear only in that workspace, not in 'My workspace'. 'My workspace' is a personal workspace for each user, and content must be manually saved there if desired. The Contributor role on a workspace allows publishing to that workspace, but the report will reside there, not in the user's personal 'My workspace'. Option A is incorrect because the Contributor role does have permission to publish. Option B is incorrect because there is no automatic addition to 'My workspace'. Option D is incorrect because a Power BI Pro license is not required to view reports in a workspace if the workspace is in Premium capacity, but even with a Pro license, the report would not appear in 'My workspace' automatically.

Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • The Contributor role does not have permission to publish reports to the workspace.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. Contributor role can publish content.

  • The report was automatically added to 'My workspace' but was deleted by an administrator.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. Reports are not automatically added to 'My workspace'.

  • Reports published to a workspace do not appear in 'My workspace' unless the user manually saves a copy there.

    Why this is correct

    Correct. Reports published to a workspace are stored in that workspace, not in 'My workspace'.

    Clue confirmation

    The clue word "most likely" in the question point toward this answer.

    Related concept

    OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.

  • The user does not have a Power BI Pro license.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The user must have a Pro license to publish, but the issue is about location.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct

OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
  • Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
  • OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
  • A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
  • Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
  • Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.

Key takeaway

OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.

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.

What to study next

Got this wrong? Here's your next step.

Review OSPF neighbour requirements — matching area type, hello and dead timers, network type, stub flags, and authentication. Study show ip ospf neighbor states (INIT, 2-WAY, FULL). Then practise related PL-300 OSPF questions on adjacency and route selection.
