Power BI embedded workspace hosting on premis or cloud

Hi there,


When I use the Power BI Embedded services and load a .pbix Desktop file into my workspace will the data be hosted on premis or in the Azure cloud? If it is stored in Azure, will proceed with the same security level as Power BI services?


It would be great if you could help me on that.


Many thanks in advance,
Elias

Hi

I assume that the data is in the .pbix.  In this case, the data will be loaded to the cloud with the same security level as the Power BI service

Many thanks for your reply.
Guyinacube gave me the same answer but added that directquery mode would avoid hosting the data in the azure cloud
