Post PatronTenant Migration Freezing period
Hi,
We are migrating Power BI reports/datasets from 1 tenant to other tenant..
In the freezing period (2 weeks), what things should be considered, i have written couple of points, can someone please add, clarify or correct it..
a. Users may not able to create reports/datasets..
b. Schedule of refresh may be halted to avoid data inconsistencies.
c. Adding/Removing users or changing permission may be restricted
Thanks,

Thank you for your response. The solution provided by rohit1991 is accurate. In addition to the provided solution, please consider the following additional recommendations that may help address the issue more effectively:
1. Workspaces & Apps
- Workspaces should not be modified during the freezing period.
- Apps should not be republished until validation in the new tenant is complete.
2. Power BI Service Settings & Subscriptions
- Check Tenant Settings: Review Power BI admin portal settings, including export permissions, sharing policies, and dataset retention settings.
- Subscription-Based Reports: If users have email subscriptions for reports, these need to be reconfigured in the new tenant after migration.
3. Power Automate & External Integrations
- If reports are automated via Power Automate, the flows should be recreated or updated in the new tenant.
- Reconnect third-party tools that rely on the old Power BI tenant's dataset.

✅ User roles should be reviewed before migration to ensure correct access.4. Gateway & Data Source Considerations
✅ Ensure Gateways are correctly configured in the new tenant.
