Access governance

Right-size every permission, backed by real activity

Power BI Sentinel monitors every user's actual activity across your Power BI workspaces: reports accessed, content published, admin actions taken. It then flags anyone whose role exceeds what they actually do, so you can apply the principle of least privilege with evidence rather than guesswork.

  • Detects over-permissioned users across every workspace
  • Recommends the least-privilege role based on real activity data
  • Historic permission snapshots reconstruct who had access at any point in time, on the Discovery tier
  • Full audit trail of every permission change, with user attribution
