design document or architecture diagram on how to setup the different business units with the org

New to PowerBI services


I am starting from scratch, and I am setting up a Lakehouse using Microsoft Fabric services.

 

is there a design documentation or architecture diagram on how to setup the different busines units with the organisation? and the related Fabric tool/service to use,

 

I would like to setup different 'pools' for the different business units (team) and sub teams in the organisation. The business units only to access their reports. and there will be a shared pool.


For example
Finance Team and their sub-teams
Finance
Budgets
Pay

 

Client Services
shared reports

 

Business Unit A
their reports

 

Business Unit B2
their reports

 

Business Unit C2
their reports ...etc

 

Corporate
Marketing
reports

 

Technology
reports

 

Administration
reports

 

HR
reports

 

Executive Team
reports


You get the idea ..

 

In one lakehouse do I setup a Workspace for each business unit in the organisation?


What is the best way to acheive this? and can you provide weblinks for me to read up on ..

 

TIA

Hi @dd88 ,

you can use Power BI Microsoft Fabric Domains to organize and manage your data and workspaces in a secure and efficient manner. Fabric Domains provide a logical grouping of data and workspaces that aligns with your organizational structure, enabling you to implement data governance and access controls at a granular level.

To use Power BI Microsoft Fabric Domains, you will need to have a Power BI Premium or Power BI Pro capacity with the Fabric tenant setting enabled. Once enabled, you can create and manage domains through the Power BI admin portal.
