The question: To what extent does Microsoft Fabric, in combination with Microsoft Purview, enable the consistent application and enforcement of sensitivity labels required for compliance with the European Union regulatory framework (GDPR, NIS2, and DORA) — particularly within healthcare, government, and legal sectors? Specific Areas of Inquiry End-to-End Labeling How are Purview sensitivity labels consistently applied across OneLake, Fabric workspaces, Data Pipelines, and Power BI artifacts? How can we ensure that sensitive data (e.g., patient health records, government files, privileged legal case documents) is classified, labeled, and secured throughout its lifecycle? Regulatory Validation Which tools, audit logs, or methodologies exist to demonstrate to EU auditors and supervisory authorities that sensitivity labels are technically enforced? How can organizations validate that these labels actively prevent non-compliant data use (e.g., cross-border transfers, unauthorized disclosures, inadequate retention)? Industry Cloud Alignment How are misalignments between Microsoft’s global Industry Clouds (Healthcare, Government, Financial Services) and the stricter EU legal frameworks addressed? What safeguards exist to ensure data residency, sector-specific requirements, and sovereignty are met in the EU context? Partner Implementation & Liability How can implementation partners independently validate that the configuration is correct and compliant with GDPR, NIS2, and DORA requirements? What contractual and legal risks do partners face if customers are later found non-compliant, given that under EU law partners may be considered jointly responsible (“co-liable”) for failures in compliance and security posture? Why this is Critical in Healthcare, Government, and Legal Sectors Healthcare (GDPR + NIS2 + DORA overlap) Patient health records are defined as “special category data” under GDPR. Breaches can directly harm patient safety and fall under NIS2 as critical infrastructure incidents. For insurers, hospitals, and EHR providers with financial services ties, DORA adds strict ICT risk management and reporting obligations. Government State and citizen data must remain under EU jurisdiction, requiring provable classification, lifecycle management, and cross-border transfer restrictions. Failure to comply could result in GDPR sanctions, NIS2 incident fines, and reputational harm. Legal Services Case files and attorney-client privileged information require maximum confidentiality. Improper labeling or leakage would not only trigger GDPR penalties but also breach NIS2 obligations for legal operators deemed critical to democratic institutions. Summary of the Applicable Regulations GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) Articles 5, 6, 9: Lawful basis, minimization, special category data handling. Articles 25, 30, 32: Data protection by design, records of processing, and security of processing. Article 44–49: Cross-border data transfers. NIS2 (Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems) Applies to “essential” and “important” entities (healthcare, government, law, financial services). Requires strict incident reporting, risk management measures, and supplier accountability. Holds partners and supply chain providers legally accountable for ICT security. DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) Applies to financial entities (banks, insurers, payment providers) and their ICT providers. Requires operational resilience testing, ICT risk management, incident reporting. Extends liability to third-party ICT service providers (partners/implementers). Why This is Difficult for Microsoft Partners Immaturity of Fabric + Purview integration: Sensitivity labels are not yet consistently enforced across all Fabric components. Validation gaps: No EU-standardized testing or auditing framework exists for demonstrating compliance inside Fabric. Industry Cloud misalignment: Microsoft’s global Industry Clouds are not fully mapped to EU-specific requirements. Shared liability: Under GDPR (Article 26), NIS2 (supply chain clauses), and DORA (third-party ICT provider rules), IT partners are jointly responsible if the environment fails to comply. This creates significant legal and financial exposure for partners.      Implication for Partners: Unless Fabric’s integration with Purview can be demonstrably validated, partners face the risk of non-compliance claims, regulatory fines, and co-liability in the event of data breaches or audit findings. ...

Description: As a developer building identity-driven applications in Microsoft Fabric (e.g., PowerApps timecard systems), I’ve found it challenging to test logic and stored procedures that rely on Entra ID (Azure AD) for authentication and authorization. Currently, there’s no built-in way to simulate identity-based access using dummy data tied to the company domain. I propose a feature that allows developers to create and use synthetic Entra identities (e.g., dummy EntraObjectIDs or UPNs) that are recognized within the Fabric workspace for testing purposes. These could be linked to the company domain or dev tenant and used to simulate login, access control, and data operations without compromising real user data.   Benefits: Enables secure and realistic testing of identity-driven logic. Avoids reliance on hardcoded or fake GUIDs. Improves developer productivity and confidence before production deployment. Encourages best practices in identity-based development. This would be especially helpful for Teams-integrated apps where identity is central to the user experience. Encourages best practices in identity-based development.

Hello everyone,   I'd like to export the detailed information provided at this section Interactive operations for timerange. Actually, there is a limitation that requires to export this information using (...)  then Export data option with 2 minutes of data, but this process is hard doing in a manual way, so my idea is what if through an API setting the timerange for 5 minutes, doing the export of this data. I'm thinking doing this in a programatic way to extract information instead of doing this manually. By this way, I can get logs for a specific month. ... View more

  Please add API support to retrieve the Org App–scoped report ID (the GUID used in …/orgapps/{appId}/rdlreport/{reportId})   Today, the Admin Scanner’s orgApps.relations.dependentOnArtifactId returns the workspace artifact ID. However, when the same artifact is accessed through an Org App, the URL uses a different “app-scoped” report ID. Without an API to map these two IDs, it’s hard to inventory Org App contents, trace lineage, or build reliable governance/monitoring.   More details:https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/Org-App-preview-How-do-I-get-the-report-ID-used-by-the-Org-App/m-p/4819487#M285644    Cesar Sanchez ...

Hello, Currently, there is no place in Power BI Service to be able to monitor all existing subscriptions. When you check from the home menu > Settings > Notifications, you only see your own subscriptions. When you check from a workspace, you see your own + all the ones created by other people in the current workspace. But there is no page to check all subscriptions (own + other people) created across all workspaces. That would be useful for monitoring purposes. Thank you ... View more

Hi Team,   We are trying to connect to AWS S3 Bucket via Athena from Power BI (Azure-hosted SaaS service). In a high level we have below requirements   We will pull the data from AWS and populate the Power BI Semantic Layer Cache and Power BI reports will use the cached data for reporting The connection should use federated user identity which has username and password stored in cyber ark. Connection should also suffice the data orchestration. Whan data is changed in AWS, API call in Power BI should trigger the data refresh   Do we have any jdbc driver which is provided by AWS or Microsoft for the same. I know that that ODBC driver is a possibility but i think there are some challenges with it.   Thanks, Gaurav   ... View more

You know what Power BI feature I'm waiting for? A data dictionary. Power BI already has built in to the relationship "app" all these data dictionary qualities:  the ability to visualize relationships between tables, create table and column descriptions, create table and column synonyms, see data types (Maybe add an extra "Workflow" field so I can describe how data is captured and/or how reliable it is) Now I just need to be able to export that into a simple excel file! An exportable data dictionary would be way better for training new staff and explaining data to more technical stakeholders. ... View more

I am extremely frustrated with the Paginated Report visual inside PBIX. It works as a preview in Desktop or in the Service, but fails completely when the PBIX is embedded in applications, making it entirely useless for any production scenario. What we need: The ability to render the Paginated Report inside PBIX when embedded in applications. Support for cell-level control and editing, similar to Excel, to allow detailed formatting and calculations. Parameters and data sources should work offline inside PBIX, without relying on external workspace or gateway connections. Currently, this limitation forces users to separate the Paginated Report from PBIX, breaking workflows and increasing development complexity. This is extremely frustrating and contradicts the purpose of integrating paginated reports with analytical PBIX reports. Real scenario: We need to generate detailed reports that allow cell-level data manipulation for financial and operational analysis directly within PBIX, and there is currently no practical alternative in the product. Please consider adding full support for Paginated Report visuals inside embedded PBIX, with cell-level functionality. ... View more

The goal is to get carbon emission break-down by sub-services, to track more granularly the emissions of each sub-service. For example if you want to get carbon emssions of ChatGPT part of Azure OpenAI foundry you cannot, the information is available only at the service level (Cognitive Services) which include other sub-service.   Then carbon emssion are not aligned between Azure Portal and Emission Impact Dashboard for Azure (PowerBI), as Cognitive Services is including other services, the calculation are different between Carbon Emission for Azure AI Foundry in Azure Portal and Cognitive Services in Azure Emission Impact Dashboard (PowerBI) ...

  TLDR: When using nested bookmarks with a Bookmark Navigator, the navigators highlighted button does not reset when a higher-level bookmark is triggered, causing mismatches between what is displayed and what is selected.   Suggestion: allow bookmarks to also control the state of navigators, keeping them synchronized.   Currently, when using the Bookmark Navigator together with other bookmarks configured only for "Display" and "Selected visuals", there is a synchronization issue.   Practical example: I have a top-level bookmark that shows/hides groups of visuals, including a bookmark navigator inside that group.   Inside this group, the internal bookmark navigator allows switching between Bookmark 1 and Bookmark 2.   If I use the internal navigator to switch to Bookmark 2, the corresponding button is highlighted correctly. However, when I go back to the top-level bookmark, the visuals return to the Bookmark 1 scenario, but the navigator button still shows Bookmark 2 as active.   This creates confusion for the end user because the state displayed on the screen does not match the navigator’s highlighted button.   Improvement suggestion: Add an option so that the Bookmark Navigator automatically synchronizes with the state saved in the bookmark, just like other selected visuals. This way, when a top-level bookmark is triggered, any internal bookmark navigators would also update their active button to match the bookmarks state, avoiding inconsistencies between the displayed scenario and the navigator. This improvement would bring much more clarity to navigation, especially in complex reports that use hierarchies of bookmarks and nested navigators. ... View more

I set up a Dataflow with a Destination to a Warehouse. That warehouse has a new schema. I want my Dataflow Destintion to CREATE a table in the new schema. I specify the new table name as <schema>.<table>. What I GET is a table in the dbo schema named dbo.<schema.table>. Now, I can fix this nonsense with simple T-SQL commands so that the table is named appropriately and in the correct schema. I then accidently ran the Dataflow again without changing the Destination. I now have TWO tables in the database: <schema>.<table> and dbo.<schema.table>. OK, my fault. But if, at this point, I go back to the Dataflow to fix the destination and specify an EXISTING table in the Warehouse, I see TWO Object that *look* identical.    PLEASE make Warehouse Destinations in Dataflows such that it displays the table name AND schema name, AND make so that I am NOT forced to make New Table Destinations in the dbo schema. The New Table dialog option should allow you to specify the schema. ... View more
