DP-700 Question #127: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You need to create a secure way for external business partners to access specific reports in your Fabric workspace, without giving them access to the underlying data or other workspace items. What should you do?

Options

• AShare the entire workspace with the business partners and assign them a Viewer role.
• BCreate a Power BI app containing the reports and share the app with the business partners.
• CExport the reports to PDF and email them to the business partners regularly.
• DGrant direct read permissions to the specific reports for the business partners.

Explanation

The user needs to securely share specific reports with external partners, restricting access to underlying data and other workspace items.

Common mistakes.

• A. Sharing the entire workspace, even with a Viewer role, would grant partners visibility into all items within the workspace (reports, semantic models, dataflows, etc.), which goes against the requirement of limiting access to specific reports only.
• C. Exporting reports to PDF and emailing them is a manual, non-real-time, and insecure method for ongoing access. It lacks interactivity, auditability, and scalability for managing access to multiple reports or many users.
• D. Granting direct read permissions to specific reports might still expose some metadata or path to the underlying semantic model, or it might not provide the same level of isolation and curated experience as a Power BI app, especially when considering external users.
