Frequently asked questions
What is row-level security in Power BI in plain language?
It is a way to make sure a user in one region or role only sees the rows of data they are allowed to, even in the same report. The hard part is aligning groups and HR systems of record.
How do you stop self-service from duplicating the same measure ten ways?
A certified dataset or semantic model, change review for published metrics, and a clear 'official' home for key KPIs. The culture shift matters as much as the technology.
