Deploying and Publishing Power BI Reports
Your Power BI reports are only valuable once they’re live and accessible to stakeholders—yet deployment trips up most analysts. This course cuts through the confusion, showing you exactly how to move reports from development to production and share them securely across your organisation.
AIU.ac Verdict: Essential for BI developers and analysts ready to move beyond desktop work into enterprise deployment. You’ll gain hands-on confidence with publishing workflows, sharing strategies, and permission models. Note: assumes solid foundational Power BI knowledge; this isn’t an intro to the tool itself.
What This Course Covers
You’ll work through the complete deployment lifecycle: preparing reports for production, configuring workspaces, managing capacities, and choosing between publish-to-web, app, and premium licensing models. Eugene walks you through real scenarios—handling refresh schedules, setting row-level security, and troubleshooting common publishing blockers that catch teams off guard.
The course emphasises practical application: you’ll learn when to use each sharing method based on audience and security requirements, how to automate deployments, and how to monitor report performance post-launch. By the end, you’ll understand the architectural decisions behind enterprise Power BI rollouts and be able to advise stakeholders on licensing and capacity planning.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- BI Developers & Analysts: Ready to move reports into production and need deployment best practices without the guesswork.
- Power BI Admins: Managing workspaces and permissions across teams; need clarity on sharing models and capacity allocation.
- Data Professionals Upskilling: Comfortable building reports; now need to master the ‘last mile’ of getting them into users’ hands securely.
May not suit:
- Power BI Beginners: If you’re new to Power BI itself, start with foundational courses first; this assumes you can already build basic reports.
- Excel-Only Users: This requires working knowledge of Power BI Desktop and the service; pure Excel users won’t have the prerequisite context.
