In this video, we break down the security implications of Microsoft Fabric’s Direct Lake architecture, focusing on how access is managed when connecting Direct Lake over OneLake versus Direct Lake over the SQL Endpoint.
🔒 What you’ll learn:
✅How OneLake security ON enforces access through Direct Lake connections.
✅ What changes when OneLake security is OFF and only report-level security applies.
✅Why accessing through the SQL Endpoint always enforces its own security layer.
✅Key differences between Direct Lake → OneLake and Direct Lake → SQL Endpoint from a security perspective.
Best practices to ensure your data remains secure while using Direct Lake in Power BI.
This video will help you understand how security is applied in practice, and what to consider when designing analytics and reports in Power BI on top of your Lakehouse.
👉 If you work with Fabric, Lakehouse, or Power BI, this video will give you clarity on how to balance performance with proper security enforcement.
