Hi @YashikaAgrawal ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community. and I appreciate the detailed inputs shared by the @Akash_Varuna  and @rohit1991 .

You have already received good guidance on key areas such as Databricks and SharePoint data source reconfiguration, as well as user migration considerations. To reiterate, updating your data source connections, validating access in the new tenant, and ensuring user roles and permissions are reestablished will be crucial steps during the migration. 

If you need any more information or assistance, please let us know.

Regards,

Yugandhar.

Hi @YashikaAgrawal

When moving Power BI reports and data sources from tenant X1 to X2, a few things need extra attention:

• Databricks : You’ll have to set up the new workspace in X2, create fresh access tokens, and update the data source settings in Power BI since connections don’t carry over between tenants.

• SharePoint : Any report pointing to SharePoint lists/files will need the URLs updated to the new tenant’s site, and you’ll need to re-check permissions.

• Users : If the 100+ users aren’t already in X2, they’ll need to be migrated or recreated (manually, in bulk, or with Azure AD tools). Once they’re in, reassign their roles and permissions in Power BI.

Planning out dependencies (data sources, permissions, user mapping) before the move is key to making the migration smooth.

Hi @YashikaAgrawal For Databricks, update workspace URLs and credentials in Power BI, and reconfigure the data gateway if needed. For SharePoint, update data source URLs, reassign permissions, and ensure the gateway supports the new tenant. Use PowerShell or bulk import tools to create users in Microsoft 365 and assign roles/licenses. Communicate changes to users, ensuring they update credentials or reconfigure access as needed.
