Power BI implementation planning: Workspaces

  • Article

Note

This article forms part of the Power BI implementation planning series of articles. This series focuses primarily on the Power BI workload within Microsoft Fabric. For an introduction to the series, see Power BI implementation planning.

This workspaces article introduces the Fabric workspace planning articles, which have an emphasis on the Power BI experience. These articles are targeted at multiple audiences:

  • Fabric administrators: The administrators who are responsible for overseeing Power BI in the organization.
  • Center of Excellence, IT, and BI team: The teams that are also responsible for overseeing data and BI throughout the organization.
  • Content creators and owners: Self-service creators who need to create, publish, and manage content in workspaces.

Proper workspace planning is an integral part of making an implementation successful. Inadequate workspace planning can lead to less user flexibility and inferior workarounds for organizing and securing content.

Fundamentally, a workspace is a container in the Fabric portal for storing and securing content. Primarily, workspaces are designed for content creation and collaboration.

Note

The concept of a workspace originated in Power BI. With Fabric, the purpose of a workspace has become broader. The result is that a workspace can now contain items from one or more different Fabric experiences (also known as workloads). Even though the content scope has become broader than Power BI, most of the workspace planning activities described in these articles can be applied to Fabric workspace planning.

The workspace planning content is organized into the following articles:
