PowerBI Workspaces
Hi pokesfan_72
Thank you for the clarification.
A common approach is to allow business groups to continue gathering requirements from SMEs and developing reports in their own development workspaces, while implementing controls such as source control, deployment pipelines, workspace standards, and documented ownership. This gives IT visibility into what has been developed, who owns it, and what content is considered supported in production.
In many organizations, IT's role is focused on governance, platform administration, security, and production support, while business teams retain responsibility for report development and business validation. Content that is promoted to production typically follows a defined review and deployment process, ensuring that only approved and supportable solutions become part of the organization's supported reporting portfolio.
This model generally provides a good balance between enabling business innovation and maintaining the governance, supportability and lifecycle management that IT requires.

Hi pokesfan_72
We wanted to follow up to check if you’ve had an opportunity to review the previous responses. If you require further assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Yes
I originally posted, asking how others have configured their systems in the workplaces they are located. The one post asked what our intent is, and that does not provide the needed assistance.
To answer that question, we are trying to allow external (non-IT) groups to continue interviewing SMEs and creating PowerBI reports/dashboards, but want to develop a process where PowerBI "code" is managed, so that we (IT) knows what has been developed and what IT may support going forward.
