You are a Power BI data analyst managing a workspace that contains a certified semantic model. You need to configure access for two distinct user groups while adhering to the principle of least privilege.
The 'Finance_Analysts' group needs to create new Power BI reports and Excel workbooks based on this semantic model from their own separate workspaces.
The 'Executive_Team' group needs to view reports connected to this semantic model but must be prevented from creating new content from it.
Which permissions should you grant directly on the semantic model to meet these requirements?
Grant the 'Finance_Analysts' group Build permission and the 'Executive_Team' group Read permission.
Add the 'Finance_Analysts' group to the workspace with the Contributor role and the 'Executive_Team' group with the Viewer role.
Grant the 'Finance_Analysts' group Read and Reshare permissions, and the 'Executive_Team' group Read permission.
Grant both user groups Build permission on the semantic model.
The correct approach is to grant the 'Finance_Analysts' group Build permission and the 'Executive_Team' group Read permission. Build permission is specifically designed to allow users to create new content (like reports or Excel connections) using the semantic model, which satisfies the analysts' requirement. Read permission allows users to view existing reports that use the semantic model but does not permit them to create new content from it, which correctly restricts the executives' access according to the principle of least privilege.
