* Answer: A. Publish the reports in an app and grant the HR managers access permission. * Explanation: - Apps are view-only for consumers by default, so HR managers can interact (filter, slice, export if allowed) but cannot change the report layout. - Row-Level Security (RLS) is enforced when users access content through an app, so each HR manager will only see data for their region once you assign them to the appropriate RLS role(s) on the dataset. * Why not the others: - D. Add as members of the existing workspace → Members (and Contributors/Admins) can edit reports and change layouts. That violates the requirement. (While a Viewer role would be read-only, the option explicitly says members.) - B. New workspace and copy content → Duplicates maintenance effort and still adds them as members (edit rights). Unnecessary and risky. - C. Publish to a different workspace → Doesn’t address permissions or edit restrictions; also adds operational overhead.
A. Publish the reports in an app and grant the HR managers access permission. Why? Publishing reports via a Power BI app lets you distribute reports with row-level security applied. App users (HR managers) can interact with the reports and apply filters but cannot modify the report layout or the underlying dataset. This meets the requirement: restrict access by region via RLS, allow interaction, and prevent layout changes. Adding HR managers as workspace members (Options B or D) would give them edit permissions, allowing them to change the reports. Publishing reports in a different workspace (Option C) doesn’t by itself prevent report editing or guarantee RLS enforcement.
By publishing the reports in an app, you can grant the HR managers access to the reports while ensuring they can only interact with data relevant to their region via row-level security (RLS). This solution also prevents the HR managers from changing the layout of the reports, as app users typically only have access to viewing the content, not editing it.
