can Power BI damage/change Active Directory data?

The IT dept mentioned how critical is Active Directory since it operates as the backbone for everything else and very protective on which services connect to it.

 

Is there any way that Power BI can interact with Active Directory data in a way to damage/chage it?

Any supporting documentation that can confirm that does not happen regardless?

What are the dangers of connecting Power BI to Active Directory?

 

Thank you.

Power BI uses read only access.  The only possible negative consequence of Power BI's connection might be on the performance of the server due to load.
