Real-Time Dashboards and underlying KQL databases access separation (preview)
Microsoft Fabric’s new Real-Time Dashboard permissions feature brings granular control to how users interact with Real-Time Analytics. With the introduction of separate permissions for dashboards and underlying data, administrators now have the flexibility to allow users to view dashboards without giving access to the raw data. This separation is key for organizations that need to ensure data security while providing actionable insights to a broader audience.
Fabric permissions focus on how users interact with the dashboard itself, determining who can view, edit, or share the dashboard. Meanwhile, data source permissions ensure that only authorized users can access the raw data that powers these visualizations. This division improves the overall security posture by ensuring users have only the necessary level of access.
An added benefit of this feature is the option to choose between pass-through and editor’s identity for handling data access. Pass-through allows users to access data using their own credentials, while editor’s identity uses the dashboard editor’s permissions. This ensures that the system is adaptable to different collaboration scenarios and aligns with organizational needs.
Overall, these enhancements to Real-Time Dashboard permissions in Microsoft Fabric promote secure, efficient, and tailored access to data and dashboards. This flexibility empowers teams to collaborate more effectively while maintaining strict control over data access, making it a valuable addition for organizations leveraging real-time intelligence.
