The IT group contains an enterprise analytics team and an information security team. Existing Environment - Data Storage - Fabrikam has three Azure Synapse Analytics workspaces named workspace1prod, workspace1test, and workspace1dev. Each workspace is connected to an Azure Data Lake Storage account and contains a lake database that is accessed by using the built-in serverless SQL pool. The data in the Data Lake Storage accounts is available in the lake databases for analysts from every business unit to query and analyze by using Power BI. The company imports the following files into the Data Lake Storage accounts: • User experience data stored as JSON files • Finance data stored as CSV files • Sales data stored as CSV files Reporting - Fabrikam has a Power BI tenant that contains 30 workspaces in Pro license mode. The data in the workspaces is a mix of Import and DirectQueiy datasets. All reports are interactive. Fabrikam has three frequently used workspaces as shown in the following table.The Corporate Data Models workspace contains a dataset named Financial Model that is used by reports in the P&L workspace. Financial Model is maintained by the enterprise analytics team. The Corporate Data Models workspace and the User Experience workspace have corresponding development and test workspaces. User Problems - Administrators report an increase in the maintenance of Power BI tenant assets due to analysts in the Finance and Accounting business unit who create new Power BI datasets when the existing datasets already meet their needs. Analysts in the Product business unit report the following issues: • Datasets are published to the User Experience workspace, while the data sources reference workspace1test. • The parsing of user experience data in Power Query is very slow. The enterprise analytics team identifies two DAX measures in the Financial Model dataset that are consistently slow to execute. The team must identify all the reports that use the Financial Model dataset and notify the report owners of changes to the measures. Members of the enterprise analytics team report that creating Power BI reports and adjusting tables and views in Azure Synapse is tedious because they must switch between the Power BI workspaces and the Azure Synapse workspaces. The information security team identifies that the user experience data is being shared externally. Requirements - Planned Changes - Fabrikam plans to implement the following changes: • Power BI will be registered as a data source in Microsoft Purview. • The analysts in the Product business unit will create a more automated process for deploying Power BI reports and datasets to the User Experience workspace. The enterprise analytics team plans to perform the following tasks: • Update the DAX calculations in the Financial Model dataset. • Create views in the Azure Synapse workspaces to speed up the parsing of user experience data. • Create and document the change management process for shared Power BI datasets. Technical Requirements - From Microsoft Purview, analysts in all the business units must be able to see all the assets in the Power BI tenant and the Azure Synapse workspaces. Power BI asset information must include lineage to identify the data sources used by each report. The information security team must identify all the Power BI reports and datasets that contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Fabrikam requires a security solution for the Power BI tenant. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Access to the tenant by external users must be approved by a manager and granted by the IT group. • The external users must be prevented from publishing or modifying content in the tenant. • Users must be prevented from sharing Power BI reports publicly to the internet. The new process for deploying Power BI reports and datasets to the User Experience workspace must ensure that the datasets point to the lake database to which the relevant dataset is deployed. The views in each lake database must present the data in a tabular format. The enterprise analytics team needs to notify the report owners of the planned changes. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should the team do?
A. Locate all the downstream reports, identify all the users that are assigned the Admin role, and then send an email to each user.

Overview - Contoso, Ltd. is a company that sells enriched financial data to a variety of external customers. Contoso has a main office in Los Angeles and two branch offices in New York and Seattle. Existing Environment - Data Infrastructure - Contoso has a 50-TB data warehouse that uses an instance of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines. The data warehouse populates an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace that is accessed by the external customers. Currently, the customers can access all the data. Contoso has one Power BI workspace named FinData that contains a single dataset. The dataset contains financial data from around the world. The workspace is used by 10 internal users and one external customer. The dataset has the following two data sources: the data warehouse and the Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool. Users frequently query the Synapse Analytics workspace by using Transact-SQL. User Problems - Contoso identifies the following user issues: Some users indicate that the visuals in Power BI reports are slow to render when making filter selections. Users indicate that queries against the serverless SQL pool fail occasionally because the size of tempdb has been exceeded. Users indicate that the data in Power BI reports is stale. You discover that the refresh process of the Power BI model occasionally times out. Planned Changes - Contoso plans to implement the following changes: Into the existing Power BI dataset, integrate an external data source in JSON that is accessible by using the REST API. Build a new dataset in the FinData workspace by using data from the Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool. Provide all the customers with their own Power BI workspace to create their own reports. Each workspace will use the new dataset in the FinData workspace. Implement subscription levels for the customers. Each subscription level will provide access to specific rows of financial data. Deploy prebuilt datasets to Power BI to simplify the query experience of the customers. Provide internal users with the ability to incorporate machine learning models loaded to the dedicated SQL pool. You need to create Power BI reports that will display data based on the customers’ subscription level. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
