a. It is a web-based resource management platform.
b. It holds my workspace (highest private) and can also create APP workspaces to group and share resources under our account, each workspace can have datasets, reports, dashboards, dataflows, datamarts (premium tier: support Power Query Editor + SQL/Visual query + Report Building, provide Desktop experience), and scoreboards.
c.  Premium tier also has the deployment pipeline function which can help development by staging workspaces.
d.  These resources can be shared extensively via creating APPs.

Firstly, schedule refresh for the updated information and apply sensitivity labels for datasets if needed.
Secondly, for internal workers during the development process, grant them one of 4 roles with the least privilege to change the workspace: Viewer < Contributor < Member < Admin
Thirdly, for consumers or external users, grant them viewer roles for the published APPs.
Additionally, in one report, row-level security can make sure viewers only read the information they need.

 
😁 Hope this post can give you a general overview of the Power BI service and make it easier to explore it. Have a nice following week. #powerbiservice #learningandgrowing
