The Importance of PBAC for Power BI
High volumes of data and identities (i.e. users and services), along with the challenges of siloed access control approaches create gaps in data security. While Power BI has native access control capabilities, enterprises are centralizing access controls to strengthen their security posture and gain flexibility.
Benefits of PlainID and the Power BI Authorizer
Without PlainID
- Manual and fragmented policy management across tools and data systems.
- Policy inconsistencies and a permissive approach lead to partial replicas of the data.
- Limitations of native access controls prevent oversight and security best practices.
- Inefficiencies and overhead from complex coding with DAX.
- Exposure to emerging security threats and non-compliance.
With PlainID
- Centralized policy management simplifies and automates the management of policies across BI tools and the data ecosystem.
- Risk reduction through consistent policies applied enterprise-wide with Policy-based Access Control (PBAC).
- Full visibility & control of policies from a unified dashboard that provides reporting and alerting on policy changes.
- Simplified policy language eliminates the need for DAX knowledge and coding.
- Adapt to Evolving Requirements to keep up with business needs, security threats, and regulatory compliance.
