Hi there yaronc how can we assign Purview glossary terms to Power BI content please? Question originating from this article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/use-power-bi-with-azure-purview-to-achieve-better-data-governance-and-discovery/
Thanks, Angus Menter
You can save your Purview glossary data in Excel and get data in Power Bi.
Then build Report Tooltip Pages with these data.
For more details abour how to get data in Power Bi Service:
Get data from files for Power BI
Data sources for the Power BI service
You can try to get data from power bi desktop and then publish your report on service as well.
There are more ways to get data in Power BI desktop than in Power BI Service.

Here is a same problem like yours in this post: Business glossary in Power BI report

You may need to create a security group in Azure Active Directory in the Azure Portal.
Add the manager and member into this security group.
Then turn on the option: Allow service principals to use read-only Power BI admin APIs (Preview) in Tenant Setting.
Add your security group in sepcific security groups to apply them use this function.
If you want to use admin portal, you need to be power bi admin or global admin.

HI Rico
Thanks. We have now got that integration working and can associate glossary terms to references to Power BI content.
For a Power BI user wanting to view the glossary terms related to a report they are viewing what is the expected workflow? Do they need to go to Purview and look the report up?
Thanks

You can try report page tooltips. You could create a tooltip page and create a visual including the glossary.
Then you could add the tooltip when you create a visual, the business glossary will show on the tooltip when you hover over on the visuals.
