Solved: Re: Power BI Pro: Data security and licensing - Microsoft Fabric Community Thank you Collinq for the earlier responses and WP links.
While am still going through the papers. A quick question.
We know that P BI uses a snapshot of the data (raw) for all its internal usage and visualizations.
Background: In my organization, we have an in-house application to generate reports. currently we generate using xls and share the same with our customers for their further analysis (they share the raw data, which we process and generate report). Now for our own internal processing and cleansing data we have started using P-BI and are able to generate customer specific reports which are shared via email manually to each one.
Now I am in India and suppose I have created 3 reports for 3 customers who are based out of India, UK and USA.
In my reports / dashboard in PBI desktop, if for the 3 reports I go file->options and settings-> options and then in the “Current file”-> regional settings I select India, USA and UK respectively, so does this mean that the local PBI copy of data will be in the Azure of the respective regions such as India, Europe and USA. Or these regional setting have nothing to do with the way PBI uses local data for its use. Or in other words there is no way to find out to which azure region the power BI local data is uploaded. All we know is as per MS and their compliance policies we are “by default GDPR compliant” or for that matter any other compliance criteria.
Basically the customer is fine the MS reports about compliance, but a bit choosy on the location of their data in cloud and therefore trying to understand / relate a bit more as they are expecting a more concrete data point / information.
Again any insights highly welcome!
Thanks,
Gaurav.
