Power BI Analytics

technical

Show each person only the data they are allowed to see

One shared dashboard, different rows per person. We model access the way your business already restricts data—and prove it with tests.

The problem we solve

Access rules drawn on a whiteboard fail in UAT. We map real entitlements to roles, implement them in the model, and prove isolation with multiple test users before leaders see the app.

What you get

What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.

  • Deliverable 1: Entitlement matrix (role ↔ filter ↔ security group)
  • Deliverable 2: Security rules implemented in the model
  • Deliverable 3: Test plan with evidence for at least three personas
  • Deliverable 4: Guidance if certain columns must stay hidden too
  • Deliverable 5: Joiners/leavers notes for identity admins
  • Deliverable 6: Break-glass admin role documentation

How it works

A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.

  1. 01

    2–4 days

    Entitlement workshops

    Capture how sales regions, plants, or clients are restricted today in Excel or ERP.

  2. 02

    3–7 days

    Implement and map groups

    Build roles, map security groups, and avoid nesting traps.

  3. 03

    2–3 days

    Test like an outsider

    Attempt cross-region or cross-customer reads with test users; fix gaps before go-live.

Practical details

The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.

  • 01One dashboard can serve the whole company when each person only sees their slice.
  • 02Mismatched usernames between IT and Power BI are a common reason for blank reports—we test identity mapping.
  • 03Workspace permissions still matter; row security is not a substitute for who can open the app.

The reporting problem

  • 01Managers see other regions’ pipelines in the same report.
  • 02Security was built once and never retested after a reorg.
  • 03Embedded customers inherit blanket access.

What changes

  • Roles match the entitlement matrix.
  • Test evidence exists before go-live.
  • Joiners inherit access through groups—not manual file edits.

Frequently asked questions

04

Buyer questions answered

Fixed roles suit a few stable regions. A user-list pattern scales when HR or IT already maintains who belongs where.

One to three weeks including identity testing.

An authoritative entitlement source, security group owners, and non-prod identities for tests.

Yes for models in workspaces. How widely you distribute reports still follows your licensing; row security itself is not a Premium-only idea.
