Three Prerequisites to Enable Power BI Sensitivity Labels from Microsoft Purview
Which THREE components must be in place to enable Power BI data sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview? (Select exactly three.)
Quick Answer
The answer is that three components must be in place: a Microsoft Purview Information Protection subscription (including Azure Information Protection P1/P2), sensitivity labels published to users or groups, and Power BI admin settings that enable sensitivity labels. These prerequisites work together because Purview Information Protection provides the classification framework, the published labels define which tags are available for data governance, and the Power BI admin toggle activates the integration within the service. On the PL-300 exam, this question tests your understanding that sensitivity labels are a tenant-wide governance feature, not a licensing or capacity restriction—a common trap is assuming a Premium capacity or specific Power BI license is required, but labels function with both Pro and Premium if the admin enables them. Remember the mnemonic “Publish, Purview, Power BI Admin” to recall that labels must be published, a Purview subscription must be active, and the admin setting must be turned on.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power BI admin setting to enable sensitivity labels enabled
Options A, B, and D are correct. To enable Power BI data sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview, three components are needed: the Power BI admin setting to enable sensitivity labels must be turned on (A), sensitivity labels must be published to users or groups in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal (B), and a Microsoft Purview Information Protection subscription (including Azure Information Protection P1/P2) is required (D). Option C is incorrect because Power BI Premium capacity is not a prerequisite; sensitivity labels work with both Power BI Pro and Premium capacities. Option E is incorrect because a Power BI Pro license is not required for all users; the feature can be used with any license type if the admin enables it and the necessary subscriptions are in place.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Which THREE of the following are required to configure Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels for Power BI? (Choose three.)
hard- A.Each user must have a Power BI Pro license.
- B.Have a Power BI Premium capacity assigned to the workspace.
- ✓ C.Users must have appropriate permissions (e.g., Azure Information Protection rights) to apply labels.
- ✓ D.Sensitivity labels must be published in the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center.
- ✓ E.Enable sensitivity labels in the Power BI admin tenant settings.
Why C: Sensitivity labels in Power BI require enabling in the Power BI admin tenant settings (option E), having the labels published in the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center (option D), and the user must have the appropriate permissions (e.g., Azure Information Protection rights) to apply the labels (option C). Option A is incorrect because a Power BI Pro license is not a requirement for configuring labels; it is needed for applying labels, but the question asks for required steps to configure labels. Option B is incorrect because Power BI Premium is not required; labels work in shared capacity as well.
