Haven't started using this yet, but I definitely will be setting this up for some clients :)

[vinothkumars]

Years after the uplaod yet a vary useful content. Thanks a bunch Adam

[SolutionsAbroad]

Great content as usual Adam, didn’t know the data sensitivity options were a thing at all!

[dineshprabuviswanathan]

Thanks for all the details. I have a question related to external guest user access and how data protection settings work for External Guest users who are added in AAD? Will the settings get inherited.

[Bharathrs]

Thanks... This is something will help us a lot while implementing for the clients

[TheYteds]

I was just talking to someone about this missing from Power BI. Thanks for the quick intro.👍

Do power bi have a code encryption for DAX formula?

[raviskarra]

Can we include a delimter to separate multiples Values in a Pie chart using Visualizations pane or other?

Hey guys, thanks for sharing!
Security is actually a topic I'm always concerned as a Data Analyst and now a Tech Lead. I recently deployed Power BI Embedded in my company, we use it to show our clients a few reports and metrics. How does this feature work on PBI Embedded?
I have disabled "export data", but a few people are complaining that I'm blocking some flexibility etc... Is this a "workaround" where only my clients can download the data and not share?

Hi Adam, thanks for this. We do have Data Sensitivity set at our organization. What I am needing a complete picture on is Data Sensitivity + RLS + Workspace roles. I have users that have been in RLS and want to turn on Data Sensitivity but then receive empty reports for some users that had visibility prior to Data Sensitivity. Then I know Roles will impact RLS. How can we best use all three together and correctly?

Thank you for showcasing the features and setup for Data Labels! I know the focus is on security here, but how do I get the Get Data from Power BI in the Data ribbon!? Is this rolling out gradually or an upgrade I need to take. I'm running on an E5 so I am surprised to not see that feature on my machine.

Hi Adam, I have a question - We have a confidential sensitivity label that has protection. When I label my excel report with that and try to import that excel data in the PowerBI, it throws an error. whereas I am able to import data from a file labeled with no protection.

So is that an expected behavior?

[biexbr]

Adam and Patrick. I have no words to thank you guys. The work that you do for this community is outstanding!
Keep been awesome!

Hey Adam,
and how about removing Labales in the Security Center? I deleted test label (and label policies) and it still working for mails/files (i can see a label) - almost 40 hours and nothing happend... any idea? :(

[Mgiusto]

Adam, is there a way as Power BI Admin to know or see every data set or report that has been published to powerbi.com within your tenant? The Admin Console doesn't let you drill into anything and will just give numbers of reports created per person, I'm looking for ways as an Admin to be able to report on all the data-stets and reports that are out there so I can manage everything, see what's being accessed the most and what hasn't been accessed in a long time. Thanks for any info.

[AmitSharma-drgm]

Can we protect published data with password in power bi server...?

[Bharath_PBI]

Yes, required Azure protection premium license p1 and P2 plus PBI pro license, just curious to know: when data is residing in power bi pro or premium, why again Azure license?

[vchandm]

This is too good a feature, microsoft is truly challenging the contemporary analytics tools

[samuelmanseau]

Essential step ! Thanks for this very useful video ! Is it planned in the next releases to centralize all functions related to security (security monitor)?

[singhrakeshr]

I'm more interested in the excel->get date-> power bi(guy in a cube). Is that a custom plug in?
