Power BI Service
Workspaces, dashboards, refresh, dataflows, deployment pipelines, and row-level security in the Power BI Service.
Power BI Service
Once a report leaves Desktop, this is where it lives — workspaces, scheduled refresh, dataflows shared across datasets, and the security model controlling who sees what.
Start Here
Workspaces
How workspaces organize reports, datasets, and permissions.
Dashboards
How dashboards differ from reports, built from pinned tiles.
Refresh
Keeping Import-mode datasets up to date, including incremental refresh.
Row-Level Security
Restricting data access using roles and DAX filter expressions.
Dataflows
Centralizing data preparation so multiple datasets can share cleaned tables.
Deployment Pipelines
Moving content through Development, Test, and Production safely.
Where to Go Next
- Governance — reference formats for keeping RLS and gateway architecture auditable as they grow.
- Row-Level Security Works in Desktop But Not in the Service — a common surprise after publishing.
