Workspaces, Roles and Publishing

Goal: publish a .pbix to a shared workspace with the right roles — never email the file.

Chala mitrano — Chapter 25 gave you a short tour of the Service. Chapter 37 goes deep: workspaces, the four roles, and publishing from Desktop, with worked examples from Pune, Nashik, Dubai and London.

  • Choose Admin, Member, Contributor or Viewer for a real person.
  • Publish from Desktop and check what landed in the Service.
