Only allow for some users possibility to deploy pbix which contains dataset (import / direct query)

Hi

 

For our  Data governance policy we would like to allow  only specific users (our data champions) possibility to deploy pbix which contains a dataset (import / direct query)

 

Do you know please if this feature exist ?   or do we need to ask for microsoft improvement ?

At tenant or work space level

 

3 pillars :

- Create for each business a data champions team    - OK done
- Retro doc each dataset on PBI service  -  OK done
- Limit pbix deployments which include dataset only to some people (data champion) - Not shure this feature exist

Hi V-kianl-mst

 

Thanks for you answser

 

We just would like to control/restrict pbix files deployments (from desktop) with the built-in datasets (import and direct query modes)

Authorize pbix deployments on import & dq mode only for some users 

Avoid to get 2000 datasets "in the nature" 

Best regards

 

Christophe
