- A
The dashboard owner has not granted the user 'Build' permission on the dataset.
Why wrong: The 'Build' permission allows users to create reports from a dataset, but it does not affect sensitivity label detection. The warning appears because of the label, not missing permissions.
- B
RLS is incorrectly configured and allowing users to see data they should not.
Why wrong: Incorrectly configured RLS might show too much or too little data, but it does not cause the 'Sensitive data detected' warning. That warning is triggered by a sensitivity label.
- C
A Microsoft Purview sensitivity label is applied to the dataset or report.
Correct. A Microsoft Purview sensitivity label applied to the dataset or report causes the warning. Sensitivity labels take precedence over RLS in terms of data classification warnings.
- D
The user is viewing the dashboard in a browser that does not support sensitivity labels.
Why wrong: The browser's ability to display sensitivity labels does not prevent the server from detecting the label. The warning appears server-side regardless of browser support.
PL-300 Sensitivity labels Practice Question
This PL-300 practice question tests your understanding of manage and secure power bi. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. A key principle to apply: sensitivity labels. 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.
You are a Power BI administrator. A user reports that a shared dashboard shows 'Sensitive data detected' for certain visualizations, but the dashboard is configured with row-level security (RLS). What is the most likely cause of this issue?

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
A Microsoft Purview sensitivity label is applied to the dataset or report.
The most likely cause is that a Microsoft Purview sensitivity label is applied to the dataset or report. Sensitivity labels classify data and can trigger warnings like 'Sensitive data detected' regardless of RLS. RLS only controls which rows a user can see; it does not prevent sensitivity labels from being detected. Option A is incorrect because 'Build' permission is about creating reports, not suppressing sensitivity labels. Option B is incorrect because misconfigured RLS would cause incorrect data access, not the specific warning. Option D is incorrect because the label is detected server-side, not dependent on browser capabilities.

KKey Concepts to Remember
- Sensitivity labels
- Row-level security (RLS)
TExam Day Tips
- 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
Sensitivity labels
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.
