Hi Adit1 ,

 I'm not sure I can answer all of those questions, but I can try to point you in the right direction to get more information about Fabric and Power BI.

 

There are roles within a workspace that can help you handle many editors and viewers. A best practice is to create groups like an editor and viewer group, assign the appropriate workspace role to each group and then add users to these groups:

If you need more granular permissions within a workspace, you can also assign permissions to specific items within a workspace like so:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/security/permission-model#item-permissions

 

Here is more information about organizing workspaces. Fabric also has the concept of Domains which group multiple workspaces.

Hi @

Hi djurecicK2, Thank you very much for your valuable inputs. I am checking on the roles in workspace and also checked on creating multiple apps in the workspace to manage the permissions for user groups. I understand we can't replicate the granular kind of user acecss policies like we do in Tableau sites and projects. I will check on domains specific access management since this is very critical for us.
Thank you again!
