Question 500
A Microsoft Fabric analytics team faces 2 concurrent, independent needs in the same workstream: (1) A semantic model uses a fixed cloud connection identity and an architect assumes every reader's SQL RLS is applied automatically. (2) A report consumer has Build permission but cannot connect to a protected source lakehouse. Which action bundle addresses ALL 2 needs without replacing a required control with a different one?
- (1) Test the intersection of effective model restrictions and OneLake security for each principal. | (2) Inspect the data source access model and the required model connection identity.
- (1) Verify the effective connection identity and model security before assuming delegated per-user filtering. | (2) Inspect the data source access model and the required model connection identity.
