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
✓
Define row-level security (RLS) roles in Power BI and map them to Dataverse roles
Row-level security (RLS) in Power BI can be used to restrict data access at the row level, and by mapping Power BI RLS roles to Dataverse roles, report creators will only see data from tables they have access to in Dataverse. Option A is wrong because environment security group controls access to the environment, not data within reports. Option B is wrong because table-level permissions in Dataverse control access to the table itself, but when using Power BI to report on Dataverse data, the data is imported or queried; RLS in Power BI is needed to enforce row-level restrictions. Option D is wrong because the Environment Maker role allows creating resources in the environment but does not restrict data visibility in reports.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
