Fabric and Self-Service: Control who can use

We can say Fabric is the evolution of the Power BI environment.

Power BI is a self-service environment, and so is Fabric. This allows the implementation of very interesting architectures, which will be the subject of future videos and articles.

However, it’s not something free-and-easy, and it shouldn’t be. Using Fabric Admin Portal (or Power BI Admin Portal? It’s starting to be confusing) you can control who will have access to create Fabric objects.

We have the following possibilities:

• Leave it enable for the entire organization. It will become free-and-easy, I don’t recommend.
• Specify the groups which can create Fabric objects
• Specify groups which can’t create fabric objects

In general, the best option is to define “who can”, instead of “who can’t”. I would love to hear about exception scenarios for this.

Fabric is integrated with Azure Active Directory (ops… Entra IDs). In this way this permission control integrates with your organization permissions and you can define which teams can create Fabric objects by creating Entra groups (Active Directory groups).

The fact this ability fits with perfection on the purposes of a Data Mesh implementation is a subject for future articles and videos
